Isn’t water amazing?


Do you know the benefits of water on pecan trees?


Water is vital for pecan trees, and there are many benefits to watering them properly, including:

Stronger trees

Deep watering encourages roots to grow deeper, which results in stronger, more resilient trees.

Better nut quality

Adequate water during the nut filling stage leads to better overall nut quality.

Increased production

Irrigation can enhance pecan production.

Avoids problems

Water stress in late season can cause many problems, such as shuck split, early nut drop, and low energy reserves.

Avoids survival mode

When groundwater levels are low, pecan trees will divert their energy from developing leaves and nuts to surviving the drought stress.


Here are some tips for watering pecan trees:

Water deeply: Water deeply to encourage roots to grow deeper.


Water frequently: Water pecan trees at least every two weeks.


Water at the right time: Water pecan trees at the beginning of the season to stimulate strong growth, and again during the nut filling stage.

Use soil moisture monitoring devices: These devices can help you determine when and how much water to apply.

Consider your soil type: The amount of water your soil can store depends on the type of soil.

Check soil moisture depth: After each irrigation, check that water has penetrated at least three feet.
