Pecan Tree? Will it bear?
About 3 years ago, I was weeding under alarge picnic table that my
husband and I built in our back yard. I pulled this particular "weed" and out it came, attach to the center of a cracked open Pecan. Thinking this was odd, especially since there are no pecan trees near my home, decided to put the pecan, roots, little tree, shell and all into a pot and see what happened. Well, three years later, it's a vigorously growing tree in a pot. It's about 1 1/2 foot tall now, coming from a "weed" of about 3 inches tall. My question is this: What are the odds this tree will survive? What are the odds it will ever produce anything? When should I put it in the ground? I'm almost afraid to do anything with it for fear of jinxing the good luck I have had with it in the pot. It's got a good set of about 15 "limbs" on it, and each year it gets bigger and more leaves. I am in Moncks Corner, SC which is about 20 miles inland of Charleston, SC. I would love to have a pecan tree, but prices of them are pretty high and I just wonder if I lucked out and got a free one, that one day ( I know they take a long time to bear fruit) will have pecans on it. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated! -- Bunny McElwee Event Coordinator Lowcountry Miata Club www.lowcountrymiataclub.net 1991 Mariner Blue with Red & White Stripes "BlueFlash" |
