Can you grow pecan tree on slope to a pond?
Don I on Jan 14, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Our mature pecan trees (some 80 years old) are growing on a ridge, but some younger ones are growing in grassy waterways in a pasture. Our neighbors also have a pecan orchard of trees about thirty years old in a waterway, but the roots of the trees doe no reach to the water level of a pond. Here in Ballard County, Kentucky, many native pecan species grow in the Ohio River bottoms, and they thrive where there is plenty of water beneath the ground. Some get flooded every year. As for the Desirable Pecan, our tree is only two years old. So far, it is doing well.
When will you have trees available?
Gary B on Oct 5, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Hi Gary, The Desirable Pecan is available to ship now, this fall season. We are restricted from shipping into the States of AZ, CA, NM & TX. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us, remember that we're here for you. Have a great day!
I live in 6A. Is it to to late in the season to plant a Desirable Pecan tree?
william m on Oct 4, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Hi William, This is a good question. Because weather and soil conditions vary so much from year to year and even within your zone, it's best to think of your planting time as a range of favorable conditions instead of an exact time.

You can plant new plants and trees: 1) when the ground is not frozen, 2) when daytime temperatures are above freezing (32??F) and below 90??F, and 3) when extreme weather (blizzard, hail, torrential rain, etc.) is not in the forecast. Be sure to keep plants watered if you're transplanting in warm and/or dry weather.

If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us, remember that we're here for you. Have a great day!

Desirable pecan
I am very pleased with the pecan tree. It is growing very well for the second growing season and I see no problems for the future. I have 4 other trees from Stark Bros that are over 30 years old and are full of nuts this year.
