HOW TO PLANT PECAN TREES 
Pecans are an important crop in many parts of the South. The 
trees are most satisfactory for producing shade. They grow fast 
and begin to produce nuts in about five years. 
Trees should be spaced about 50 feet apart. They succeed in 
sandy loam or light clay but not in sour or poorly drained locations. 
They deserve good cultivation and fertilization, for they are long 
lived, productive and very profitable. Cotton, potatoes or melons 
may be planted between the trees until they start to bear nuts; 
then it is well to plant a cover crop of soy beans, vetch or clover 
and turn it under. Valuable for shade on pasture and cattle graz- 
ing land, Pecan Trees are now highly prized home landscape spe- 
cimens and permanent large shade trees for city streets.
