PECANS 
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, profitable, 
commercial crop, and also will be good in- 
surance to prosperity. Some of the most 
neglected bottom lands are the best lands 
for fine pecan orchards. Plant nursery 
grown, grafted trees, as you will 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 nursery 
te 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 of 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.
