Does anyone know of a good source for pecan seedlings in this area (or
within an hour drive)?

Thanks!

That's ok, thanks. :-)

I grew up on a pecan plantation that was converted to a subdivision. We
had loads of squirrels, and they uses to always bury pecans, but they
never sprouted.

Well, these are sprouting all over the darned yard, and as I said, I'm
digging them up and tossing them.

I was not asking anything for them, they'd be free if you dug them up.

On the ones that we have actually potted, we get about a 50% survival
rate. I've been giving them away to my 'net buddies on the poultry lists.

I think I still have a couple in pots. They are most likely from the
tree 2 yards over, and they are a nice, average sized, meaty pecan.

Sometime next month just about every nursery and garden center will have bare
root pecan trees. They are cheap and you can select a proven winner or know
what you are getting and relative certainty it will produce.

FWIW, pecans don't come "true" from seed; most seedlings revert to the
native, small pecans. See: http://tinyurl.com/27lhy for info on grafting.

Well, in that case, you could take these "stalks" and do grafting on
them. :-) Grafting does not look that difficult. I have a wunnerful book
on plant propagation.

It's fascinating..... :-)
