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.

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.
