SPECIAL PECAN TREES 
PRUNED A YEAR IN ADVANCE 
OF RESETTING SAME 
FOR LAWNS, YARDS, LANDSCAPING, PARKS, ROADSIDE 
PLANTINGS, DRIVEWAYS AND ORCHARDS, WHERE 
EARLY BEARING AND FAST GROWTH IS WANTED 
Our Specially pruned and prepared Pecan Trees were selec¬ 
ted by R. L. Odom, manager, out of bearing trees six years 
old that were over 12 feet high, v/ell branched, and are from 
one inch to four inches in diameter (Caliper). 
These trees have a very fine root system, plenty of lateral roots as well as tap roots. This root systen 
being six years old and the trees pruned and prepared during the year ahead gives the trees a top with ; 
growth that is vigorous and ready to start growing early in the spring and it will continue to grow right oi 
through the year. 
These specially prepared trees will start growing in the spring about three weeks earlier than larg< 
trees would start growth that are pruned at the time of resetting. This early start gives the trees a great ad 
vantage because they get well started before summer and will continue to grow all the year. This methot 
almost entirely eliminates the danger of the trees dying from resetting. 
The following letter written September 1, 1938, by Mr. S. W. Monroe, County Agricultural Agent of Jas 
per County, who is very deeply interested in the development of all East Texas, will be of interest to al 
TO WHOM CONCERNED: 
“I have observed the method of pruning pecan trees in the nursery by R. L. Odom who is presi¬ 
dent and manager of the Sabine Valley Pecan Nurseries and do not hesitate to recommend the method. 
It is a form of advanced pruning which permits the nursery trees to completely recuperate from the 
punishment of pruning for months before time to be reset in the tields. 
“The method is calculated to reduce mortality rate of reset trees and to assure maximum growth 
the first year. 
Respectfully, 
S. W^ Monroe, 
Jasper County Agricultural Agent.”
