Carya / Pecan Tree
The pecan tree (Carya illinoinensis) is a majestic, long-lived native hardwood tree that produces delicious, nutrient-rich nuts while impressing neighbors with its stately presence. A staple of southern orchards, these deciduous trees have brilliant golden foliage in autumn and provide an annual harvest of buttery, flavorful pecans. Pecan trees are an excellent investment because, with proper care, they can provide generations of harvests.
North American Native Pecan Tree
The pecan tree (Carya illinoinensis) is known for its towering stature, attractive foliage, and high-yield nut production. A member of the hickory family, this native North American tree is widely cultivated for its rich, flavorful pecans, which are used in both culinary and commercial markets.
Growing up to 100 feet tall with a broad, spreading canopy, pecan trees provide excellent shade and visual appeal in the landscape. Their pinnate leaves turn a vibrant golden yellow in autumn, providing seasonal interest beyond their valuable nut crop. While they prefer deep, well-drained soil, they also demonstrate remarkable adaptability to various growing conditions.
Pecan trees require cross-pollination for optimal nut production, meaning at least two compatible varieties should be planted together. Though they take several years to begin bearing fruit, mature trees can yield substantial harvests for decades, making them a worthwhile long-term addition to orchards or large gardens.
FAQs
How long does it take for a pecan tree to bear nuts?

Do pecan trees require another tree for pollination?
Yes, pecan trees are wind-pollinated and require a second variety nearby for the best nut production.
Are pecan trees difficult to grow?
They require space, sunlight, and well-drained soil but are relatively low maintenance once established.
