How To Keep Pecan Trees Healthy

I was not aware about the zinc. Thanks for that information.

Thank you. We knew nothing about pecan trees, and we have a huge pecan in our back yard. It might take a couple of years to get it back to where it should be, but we'll be fertilizing it, watering it, and caring for it properly from now on.

Thank you for this useful information 🙏🏼

I have a pecan tree in my yard in Memphis TN and it produces alot of pecans in green sheets but 99% of them aren't any good. I came here to learn how to rid my tree of fungus and bring it back.

Thanks for the zinc information

Ty Ty Nursery in Georgia is an excellent place to visit and observe pecans growing on the trees, and they have lots of varieties to examine.

Thinking of more sustainable ways to keep these trees healthy and productive, would it be possible to grow green manure crops around the tree (bare dirt for a 6' circle around the trunk), and at the right time, disc it in, then before harvest, lightly roll the dirt flat? For example, clover roots go deep, concentrate the nutrients they get in the green portion above the ground, and fix nitrogen into the soil. If more irrigation is given, the clover is mowed down weekly using the clippings to feed live stock like chickens, and then disced down at the right time in late summer allowing reseeding to take place, then lightly flattened down with a roller before harvest for picking, would this work?

By witching for water is a great place to plant pecan trees the roots of a pecan tree will go to where there is water and saves on watering, there still a lot i need to know about em idk what causing black spots into the meat of a pecan? and why pecan tree makes dead branches?

Hello Don, about four years ago I bought two pecan trees In Las Cruces. Now they're about 4 inches at the trunk and at this time they have yield about very 30+ healthy looking nuts. I noticed some nuts had a web- like white on them and one had a little almost white worm which it seemed to have eaten its way thru. What are the necessary procedures I need to cure it. Please help before it starts getting worse

my 95 year old neighbor claims that it is important to bury a whole can of lye (with several nail holes in it) at the drip line of a pecan tree. I dunna know if that is a wives tale or real wisdom.

Zinc spray the leaves? WTF did Pecan trees do for zinc intake before chemical salesmen infested us?
