There's nothing like home-grown nuts!

Nut trees like pecans, black walnuts and chestnuts are large, hardwood trees that need a lot of space to grow and thrive.  They provide much needed shade if placed right.  Pecans and walnuts need about 50' per tree, and chestnuts need about 35'.

Large, bare root pecans (or bag & burlapped) are best planted from about November to February.  Smaller potted trees can be planted September to as late as April and you keep them watered.

Potted Chestnuts can also be planted from about September to maybe late April with enough water.  Cooler weather is easier all the way around, as the trees are semi-dormant to dormant, and heat won't be an issue.
