2 Hardy Pecan Tree Seedlings 18-24" Bare Root Carya illinoinensis

The Hardy Pecan Tree (Carya illinoinensis) is a long-lived North American nut tree prized for its sweet, flavorful pecans and stately shade. These live bare-root seedlings arrive at 18 to 24 inches tall, ready to establish in the landscape. With their deep green compound foliage and strong branching structure, pecan trees make an attractive addition to large yards, orchards, and rural properties.

Hardy pecans are valued both for nut production and as long-term shade trees. They grow into large specimens over time, so they are best suited to spacious plantings where their canopy and root system have room to develop. Seedlings offer an affordable way to start a pecan planting and can be grown for nut harvest or as part of a mixed landscape.

Planting & Care

Plant bare-root pecan seedlings as soon as possible after arrival. Soak the roots briefly before planting, then dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots naturally. Set the seedling at the same depth it grew previously, backfill with native soil, and firm gently to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the first season.

Choose a sunny location with deep, well-drained soil and room for a large mature tree. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the trunk. Water during dry periods, especially in the first few years, and protect young seedlings from competing vegetation as they establish.
