PEE GeAGNes 
The Pecan is a variety of tree that is 
able to acclimate itself to any condition, or 
climate, being hardy anywhere in the 
Southwest. Pecans are a proven, profit- 
able, commercial crop, and also will be 
ecod insurance to prosperity. Some of the 
most neglected bottom lands are the best 
lands for fine pecan orchards. Plant nurs- 
ery grown, grafted trees, as you will save 
time and money by doing this. These trees 
also make beautiful shade trees. 
How to Plant Pecan Trees 
First, prune each branch approximately 
one-third of original length. Plant two to 
three inches deeper than it stood in nurs- 
ery to take care of shrinkage of new soil. 
Make hole three feet wide and as deep as 
the height of tree above ground up to five 
feet. If necessary, use auger to obtain full 
depth. Set tree and pack soil firmly and 
give it all the water it will take, adding 
more soil as it settles. 
Water twice to three times weekly de- 
pending on weather, using sufficient water 
to reach bottom roots. If soil does not take 
water freely, bury a perforated gallon can 
near tree. fill with water which soil will 
slowly take up. In summer use mulch of 
straw, hay or Peat Moss at base of tree 
to help retain moisture. Also loosely wrap 
tree to first branch with paper to prevent 
sunburn. 
Pecans usually grow in any soil, but the 
better the soil the better they grow and 
produce. Plant good pecans, give them 
proper care and sufficient water and you 
will be successful with them. You get out 
of them what you put into them.
