The new cultivars that have been released in the last 15 years or so are more precious than the older varieties. We are planting excel, creek, Lakota, Huffman, McMillan, and Ellis. These varieties start producing enough to harvest by year 5. And in the case of creek we have had 2 year old trees that grew 100 nuts per tree. We also push them with fertilizer and micro nutrients.
Cray, having production at 5 years is amazing. Could you go into a few more details about how you maintain (water, feed) the pecan trees? I've planted 10 more 2-3" pecan trees, and I want to get them off to a strong start like yours.
Cool thread.
