Pecan trees (Carya illinoinensis) are known for their impressive size and the high quality of their nuts. Starting with these 7–12 month-old seedlings gives you a head start on creating your own pecan orchard or simply adding a beautiful and productive tree to your backyard. Imagine the taste of fresh pecans from your own trees!

These nut trees thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Proper watering, especially during the first growing season, is essential for establishing a strong root system. While pecan trees have a slow to moderate growth rate, reaching 50–75 ft tall at maturity, the wait is well worth it. After 4–8 years, you can expect your trees to begin producing an abundance of pecans. Plus, you’ll enjoy beautiful yellow to golden fall foliage each year before the leaves drop.

Planting bare root seedlings offers several advantages. They are easier to handle and transport than larger trees, and they establish quickly once planted. This 5-pack includes live seedlings, 12–18 inches tall, ready to take root in your garden. With a little patience and care, you’ll be rewarded with a steady supply of delicious pecans for years to come. These trees are suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 5-9, making them a great choice for many regions.
