Pecan Trees

Posted by gonzo_1 Fl (My Page) on

Can anyone recommend a source to order pecan trees from? I have been unable to find one locally and the only one I find online is Ty Ty nursery and I hear horror stories about them. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

If you find anyone, let me know. I wasted my money on TY TY once and never will again. The trees they sent me looked like culls and had a poor survival rate. I guess they send the good trees to the commercial guys who order by the hundreds.

I saved a page from my 'Virginia Gardener' magazine that had an ad for pecan trees. There was no vendor name, just an 800 number on a color 1/2 page ad. I found ty ty, and it's their number.

I guess they don't want their name on their ads!

Here's an article with info that may be helpful to you folks wanting to grow Southern pecan varieties, and it lists several good sources.

Beware of TyTy - and all their many incarnations - if it goes by Aaron's so-and-so Nursery or Patrick's so-and-so Nursery, you can be assured it's TyTy, but they also masquerade under other names, like Pecan Tree Nursery, etc.
