Pecan Trees

Growing your own pecan tree is a surprisingly affordable way to bring beauty to your landscape, and enjoy nuts that will enhance the flavor of your food, and provide important nutrients for your diet. When these stately trees mature, they are very tall (about 75-100'), and can also function as shade trees, protecting you from the elements and helping to keep energy costs down. They are also very productive, giving you bushels of flavorful pecans that are ultimately much less expensive than those sold at the grocery store. They are perfect for eating as tasty snacks or making delicious pies, pralines or cookies. And they’re healthy — pecans are an excellent natural source of antioxidants, protein, unsaturated fats and more. And since pecan trees can continue to bear nuts for hundreds of years, these homegrown treats can be enjoyed for generations.

Buyer's Guide

If you want to get the most out of the experience of growing your own pecan tree, look no further than Stark Bro’s. Our impressive selection features a wide range of options that produce pecans with distinctive shapes and flavors. We have classic varieties you might find in the grocery store and three exclusive varieties that you won’t find anywhere else. No matter what kind of pecan tree you choose, there are a few important things to consider.

Shipping Information

Most of our pecan trees are shipped to you in our exclusive EZ Start® bottomless pots. These containers allow some roots to be air pruned as they grow out the bottom, so that a dense mass of productive feeder roots can grow within the pot to make transplanting and establishing easier and quicker. These roots also help to accelerate growth rates and induce earlier nuts. When shipped to you, the trees will be approximately 1-2' tall.

Upgrade Option

To give you a head start on growing pecan trees, we offer upgrades called Select EZ Start® potted trees for most of our varieties. When shipped to you, these top-grade selections will be somewhat larger — approximately 3-4' tall.

Zone Compatibility

Your climate plays an important role in whether a tree will produce nuts or even survive. Pecan trees are heat-tolerant and typically grow in warmer climates in the South and West (Zones 8-9), but we also offer some varieties that are hardy enough be grown successfully in cooler climates as far north as the upper Midwest and parts of New England (Zones 5-6). Before ordering any tree, make sure its recommended hardiness zone range includes your area.

Proper Pollination

Most of our pecan trees require pollination by a compatible variety for successful growth and production. Often, inadequate pollination is the reason why trees produce poorly or don’t bear nuts at all. To create the best environment for your pecan tree, make sure you check our descriptions to see which pollinating varieties our experts recommend. Some of our pecan trees are self-pollinating, which is ideal if you don’t have enough growing space to plant a second variety. If you do have room, we always recommend planting another compatible variety for optimum production.
