Soak the roots briefly before planting and keep them moist until they go in the ground. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots without crowding, set the tree at the same depth it grew previously, and backfill gently. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the first growing season, water regularly to support establishment, especially during dry spells. Pecan trees benefit from consistent moisture and weed control around the root zone. Avoid fertilizing heavily in the first year.
