Walnuts tree seeds for planting| 1 pound | Organic | Non-GMO |

Height : 40 to 60 feet Spread : 40 to 60 feet Hardiness zone : zones 3 to 10 Germination Info : Seed requires cold moist stratification Cold stratification, also known as seed stratification, is the process of exposing seeds to cold and moist conditions to encourage germination. In nature, the stratification process takes place when fallen seeds overwinter underground or beneath a layer of snow

United States (Major Growing Region)

• The U.S. is the largest producer of pecans, with most cultivation occurring in:
  • Southeastern U.S.: Georgia (the top producer), Alabama, South Carolina.
  • Southwestern U.S.: Texas (native habitat), Arizona, New Mexico.
  • Midwestern U.S.: Oklahoma, Arkansas.
  • These areas have the warm climates and fertile soils pecan trees require.

---

Mexico

• Northern Mexico, particularly in states like Chihuahua and Sonora, is a major producer of pecans. The warm, dry climate is ideal for their growth.

---

 South America

• Pecan trees are grown in parts of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, where the climates are warm and temperate.

---

Africa

• South Africa is a growing producer of pecans, especially in regions with warm temperatures and access to irrigation.

---

 Asia

• In China, pecans are grown in regions with suitable climates, but production is not as widespread as in North America.

---

Australia

• Small-scale pecan farming occurs in Australia, particularly in Queensland and New South Wales, where conditions are favorable.

Climate Requirements

• Temperature: Pecan trees prefer warm climates with hot summers and mild winters.
• Soil: They grow best in deep, well-drained, and fertile soils.
• Water: Pecan trees require adequate water, especially during the growing season.
  Pecan trees (Carya illinoinensis) are long-lived trees that can live 150 to 300 years or more under optimal conditions. Their lifespan depends on several factors, such as:

  1. Growing Conditions: Healthy soil, proper water availability, and good sunlight can extend their lifespan.
  2. Climate: Pecans thrive in warm climates, particularly in USDA Hardiness Zones 6–9.
  3. Pest and Disease Control: Regular care to prevent pests (like pecan weevils) and diseases (such as pecan scab) is crucial for longevity.
