Northern Pecan
1 yr old seedling tree, 8-10 inches
No Shipping to AK, HI, AZ, CA, TX
Carya illinoinensis
Here in the northern part of the country we are envious of those who can grow trees like Pecan, a member of the hickory family that thrives in the South. Pecan trees produce annual crops of wonderful sweet nuts that many of us are familiar with. Growing pecans in the north is a challenge though, because the trees need long hot summers for the nuts to mature properly. Many pecan trees will survive down to Zone 5, but the season is borderline too short to ripen nuts. This year we are growing seedlings from mother trees at the northern edge of the Pecan's range or with proven cold-hardiness, hence 'Northern Pecan.' These trees should be hardy to Zone 5 and may also ripen nuts, but more reliably in Zone 6 and warmer. We suggest getting a few for pollination.
