Hurricanes Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne inflicted widespread damage to pecan [ Carya illinoinensis(Wangenh.) K. Koch] trees in Georgia during September 2004. Tree damage was either limb breakage, uprooting, or varying degrees of tree tilting without uprooting. The relationship of degree of tree tilt to setting depth at planting was examined. Trees that were set at the same level at which they grew in the nursery did not tilt. Tilting of trees which had been set at a lower depth ranged from a few degrees from upright to total blow over.
