PLANTING «cud CARE OF PECAN TREES 
— Cxllure — 
When you plant your Pecan or Walnut trees fill the space around 
the roots with only fertile top soil DO NOT PUT FRESH 
MANURE OR COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER IN THE HOLE. 
Pecan and Walnuts: It is much better to have the holes dug be- 
fore the trees arrive from the nursery. Regardless of whether the 
holes have been prepared or have to be dug, keep the root system 
covered with moist material until the trees are planted. 
Wolfe’s Pecan trees, machine-dug and whole-rooted, will require 
a hole at least 40 inches deep and 30 to 36 inches in diameter. 
WOLFE has gone to a great expense to secure a Pecan root system 
that will LIVE. The tap root has been cut approximately 38 
inches below the ground and all of the lateral roots above the cut 
have been preserved. Dig the holes large enough to receive the 
roots without bending, and deep enough to set the trees 2 inches 
deeper than they stood in the nursery row. This depth can be 
determined by closely examining the bark. The bark that was 
below the ground will look dark; that which was above the ground 
will be a grayish color. The off-set on the trunk and the paint 
mark used for labelling should not be mistaken for the ground 
level. 
Pack the soil around the roots to eliminate air spaces. Pour water 
in the hole as long as the ground will absorb it completely. When 
the soil is filled with water, do not water any more until the trees 
need moisture during the dry months. When trees are watered 
continuously, the soil becomes mushy and oxygen is driven from 
around the roots. Such condition results in the trees failing to 
produce foliage in the spring, even though the bark remains green. 
If the roots cannot get oxygen, the trees will eventually die. 
After the trees have been set in a permanent location, wrap the 
trunk loosely with burlap or heavy paper. The height of the wrap- 
ping material will depend on the size of the tree, but it should 
extend to and not above the first branch. The wrapping material 
will prevent borers from getting into the trunk and will also pro- 
tect the trunk against sun scald. When the trees have developed 
enough top to shade the trunks during the hottest part of the 
day, the material may be removed.
