The Hardy Pecan is coveted plant among northern growers! This sought after nut tree produces wonderful, edible nuts after about nine years, and every second year going forward. Having homegrown nuts as part of your edible landscape is well worth the wait!  A happy, healthy pecan tree can live for 300 years and grow to 100ft tall.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

SEED PRETREATMENT: Soak seeds in water for 2-4 days, replace water every 24 hours. Mix seeds with a moistened grow medium equal to 3-4 times seed volume. Place in a plastic bag or container.

STRATIFICATION: 150 days cold/moist (5°C). Place plastic bag with seeds and soil in your refrigerator, preferably in a veggie crisper. Inspect periodically for even moisture and early germination.
