Soil should be a deep well-drained sandy loam to sandy clay loam. pH is less a factor with pecans, although 6.0-6.5 is ideal. Pecans get big so allow plenty of space. Spacing of 50-60' preferred. Pecans are heavy feeders and don’t compete well with weeds. Maintain a clean basin several feet around tree. Starting 2nd year pecans should be fertilized. Bears in 5-7 years and bears for 70+ years with proper care. Plant at least two varieties to insure good pollination. Pecan Tip - Fertilization is one of the most important practices for bearing trees. If the trees are to produce a good crop, terminal growth should be 6 inches each year. Broadcast 4 pounds of a complete fertilizer such as 10-10-10 for each inch of trunk diameter (measured 4 1/2 feet above soil level). This fertilizer should be applied in mid to late February.
