Do pecan trees have to be grafted?
Pecans grown from seed are not true to type. This means that a nut produced by a given variety will not, when planted, produce a tree identical to the parent. Therefore, in order to propagate a tree of a given variety, buds or shoots from the parent tree must be grafted onto a seedling rootstock.

Is a pecan farm a good investment?
“Pecans offer more profit potential than a typical row crop enterprise, a cow/calf farm or a stocker operation, even at peak cycles,” Locke says. But it takes good yields to make good money. “We set a target of 2,000 pounds per acre,” Rohla says. With a $2 per pound retail market, opportunities are pretty good.
Can you grow a pecan tree from a branch?
Pecan trees can easily be grown from cuttings. Take cuttings ¼” in diameter in late spring when the tree has broken dormancy. Remove leaves from the bottom half of each cutting, dip the end in rooting hormone, and place it in a tray of moist perlite.
