vue - How to Grow Pecan Trees from Seed
My dad planted several hardy Wisconsin pecan trees from seed nearly 35 years ago. The seed was actually harvested from wild pecan trees growing along the Mississippi river in southwestern Wisconsin and distributed among members of the Northern Nut Growers Asscociation, which my dad was, fortunately, a member of during the 70's. We have been getting crops of pecans from those same trees for years now. However, because animals and rodents have been a rising problem we haven't been able to successfully sow and germinate them in the ground (like my dad did all those years ago). So we decided to experiment and start them inside, and have found a method that has proven very well for us. In this video I'll show you how to start your own pecan nut seed inside - plus, I'll show you how to make your own tree pots from recycled material! Looking for your own hardy strain of pecan nuts?

قمت بزراعة بذور البيكان بعد إجراء عميلة التنضيد أو ما يعرف بالكمر البارد لاحظت النمو الخضري كان ضعيفا في البداية بحجم إبرة الخياطة ثم يزداد قوة شيئا فشيئا و يخضر لونه و يختفي اللون الرمادي

will pecan halves do? The ones sold without shells.

My grandfathers pecan tree seeds are just now ripe and starting to fall. Should I plant them now while they are fresh and green? or should I dry them first? Leave them outside until spring and then plant them? This is something nobody on Youtube has talked about or explained.
-
Nice helpful video, thanks. I already have 2 pecan trees, but would like to get some more. This will help me :D
-
why must people put music in their video's???
-
question wouldn't it be easier to take out nut from shell to soak
-
Good day, I would like to know whether I should make a cutting on either of the pointy side of the pecan nut to make it germinate when I place it in a container.

Thank you for the video Bernadette. I just got a bag of pecans, not long, but rather fat with soft shell and very rich in flavor. If I follow your steps, will the tree that sprouts be true to the parent? Or would I have to graft a branch for them parent tree to get true to type? Thank you.
-
Pecan tree from seed will be grafting or no need to do grafting ? How long start to produce fruit ? Can plant tree in a pot ? THANKS for reply soon.
-
You said to put the seedlings in a plastic bin to keep them from getting dry, but then you say to put them near a window so I am confused? Also can you grow black walnuts the same way as I thought you had to refrigerate them for a while, and scarify the outter shells? Thanks!

Hey Fox, I was wondering for future reference how to protect our pecan plants from the winter? What are some the things you do to protect your pants?

That was a great video! Thanks!

Hello!
My name is Mirko and I live in center Italy.
I love Pecan nuts, so I would like to grow some plants!
In Italy this tree is very very unusual and only two nurseries sell grafted plants, so they are very expensive, about 70$ per plant, and for me it is a lot of money for a single plant!
So I would like to grow plants from seeds.
Do you think it is possible?Will one day these plants make nuts?
And when?
I know that to have nuts it's needed to have different cultivars, is it?
So, if I would like to have nuts from seedling plants, have I to grow plants from nuts of different cultivars?
Anyway, I don't really know where to buy fresh 2014 seeds.
I need only about 20 seeds to make a trial, so I ask yo you if you can help me.
Do you sell fresh 2014 seeds?
Is it possible to ship a little package to me in Italy?
How much would it cost?
Or, can you help me to find someone who can help me to reach my goal?
Thank you very much, I hope you will give me some instructions!
Bye,

Loved the video but here is some extra information some people might not know... I hope the web site that sells the seeds also can provide information about cross pollination and variety because without a cross pollinating pair of tree you will have sparse and tiny pecans and since it can take up to 10 years before you see the first nut you would want to make sure you have a perfect couple to marry together. Also pecan trees take up a lot of room and grow very tall so they may not be suitable for small suburban yards unless you want all shade.

Thanks.

Pecan tree seedlings used to pop up in my flower beds. I think the squirrels used to bury their nuts in my flower beds. Every year I'd have two or three seedlings pop up in inopportune places. We had to cut down our pecan tree because my neighbor didn't like picking up pecans on her driveway. It was such a nice tree. Any chance you could show us this process for oak trees as well?
