2 Live Bare-Root Hardy Pecan Tree Seedlings (Carya illinoinensis) 12-18 Inches

Plant a pair of hardy pecan trees with these live bare-root seedlings of Carya illinoinensis. The pecan is a long-lived North American shade tree that also provides edible nuts, making it a rewarding choice for a large yard, orchard, or wildlife-friendly landscape. These seedlings arrive bare-root and are 12 to 18 inches tall, ready to establish in a suitable growing site.

Pecan trees develop a broad canopy and deep root system over time. They are best suited to spacious plantings where they can grow without crowding. With proper site selection and care, these seedlings can become productive, stately trees for future generations.

Planting & Care

Plant bare-root pecan seedlings in a sunny location with deep, well-drained soil. 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.

During 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. With proper care, these seedlings will develop into strong, productive trees over time.
