Carya Pecan Tree Collection

The Pecan Tree Collection brings three exceptional Carya illinoinensis varieties—Stuart, Mahan, and Colby—into your landscape, ensuring proper pollination for a generous harvest of large, delicious pecans. Maturing in October and November, these heart-healthy nuts are rich in unsaturated fats and antioxidants that can help lower LDL cholesterol. High in essential vitamins and minerals, pecans are a nutritious snack and versatile ingredient.

These majestic North American native trees thrive in regions stretching from Illinois to Florida and across the southern United States, including Texas. Growing to an impressive 70 to 100 feet tall with a broad, rounded canopy up to 80 feet wide, pecan trees offer both shade and beauty to your landscape while delivering an annual bounty of nutritious nuts.

Plant pecan tree rootstock in spring after the risk of frost has passed, spacing trees 40 feet apart. Prepare a planting hole at least 2 feet wide and 3 feet deep, filling with well-draining soil. Regular pruning encourages vigorous growth and rapid establishment, ensuring your trees thrive for years to come.
