Planting Problems with Pecans

The planting of pecans within the northern parts of its natural range is restricted by failure of trees during the first dormant period. Nursery trees, when planted at the usual depths, generally become established during the summer and enter the dormant condition in apparently good condition. Shortly following leaf fall, and with the first hard freeze, cracks develop in the scion tissue just above the ground line. The resulting separation of the cambial tissue from the wood is followed by rapid dessication and subsequent death. This problem has become so serious in certain sections that the planting of improved pecans has not been encouraged.
