Patience and Pecans
Posted by wernuts2 on 3rd May 2019
The demand for pecans in the United States is constantly growing, and many are finding out that it takes a lot of patience to grow pecans, but they also find that it is well worth the effort and time that is involved. A grafted tree can begin a very slow production of pecans after three to four years have passed. These trees only reach full production when they are into their ninth and tenth years. If the tree started from just a nut, on the other hand, you would find that it may take up to seven years more to reach full production. However, once the tree has reached production and it remains healthy, it can continue to produce pecans for more than one hundred years.
Commercially grown pecans can be found in approximately fifteen states across the U.S., and these states include California, Louisiana, Georgia, and more. They are grown in tree orchards or groves, and it takes a very caring, experienced, and patient grower to care and maintain for these trees.
