Size of Pecan Tree to Plant 
The trend each year is to plant larger pecan trees. The 4 to 5, 5 to 6, 6 to 7 and 
7 to 8-foot are all good sizes for commercial planting. For yards or places where pecan 
trees can be cared for plant trees from 7 to 10-foot for quickest and best results. 
Pollination of Pecans 
If you have a few native pecans among your budded pecans they will usually take 
care of your pollination problem. Where the orchard is all improved varieties some 
late pollen shedders and some early pollen shedders should be used. 
Early pollen shedders: Western Schley, Success, Halbert, San Saba Improved, 
Squirrel’s Delight. 
Late pollen shedders: Burkett, Schley, Delmas, Stuart and Commonwealth. One 
tree will furnish enough pollen for 10 trees. 
Size of Hole for Pecan Trees 
In ideal pecan soils, use a post-hole 
digger. The hole should be dug to a 
depth of about three feet. In hard soils, 
dig a hole three, feet square and three 
feet deep so that the roots can get 
started before reaching hard soil.
