Great job explaining about a tree that has been in my life and actually in the life of my family members for generations. Today i went to my great grandmother's old house where the huge pecan tree is that we used to gather pecans from every year. This time i found an old wet piece of wood had fallen over onto the grass near the tree. So I was cleaning up and picked up the rotting wood only to discover underneath 5 pecant that had sprouted!!! I am SOOOO thrilled that I found them!! My great grandfather planted that tree when it was less than 2 ft tall and it's now over 25ft tall with a huge limb spread and fat trunk. I now have the ability to have clone babies of the tree my grandfather planted and that we ALL ate from for generations!!!! I can give the trees to members of my family to let them carry on the tradition of planting this exact tree in their special place and watch it grow and their offspring can enjoy the fruits of their labor in times to come. Just thought I would share my excitement and your video gave me exactly what i need to help my baby trees grow!! Thank you!!
My Dad bought property with about 20 pecan trees. There were so many different types of pecans. We would pick all day every year growing up. So relaxing. Then sell them and I would get a little money. My Dad developed that property and now I have no where to go. Thank you for sharing. I will grow my own trees and hope I am still here when they produce.
Thank you for the simple and clear demonstration. I have been searching how to grow pecans from seeds in shell. The first recommended step was "cold stratification" or keeping the whole pecans either wrapped in wet kitchen tissue paper or simply in a sealed bag in a fridge for months or weeks. Did you leave the soacked pecans indoors or outdoors?
Hello, this is Algae. Thank you for leaving a nice question :) The pecans I have germinated are some of the things I kept for use as food. They are naturally dried pecans harvested in the fall and stored in a refrigerator (4°C). Among the pecans stored in the refrigerator for more than 2 months, I picked those that looked suitable for germination as seeds and sprouted. Seeds can be cold stratified by simply storing them in the refrigerator for more than one or two months. I recommend cold stratification of naturally dried seeds, not cold stratification of undried seeds or seeds wrapped in wet paper towels. If you want to proceed with cold stratification in a wet state, beware of spoilage caused by microorganisms. Have a good day :)
Thank you for your video. I have followed your instructions for 13 nuts I found outside of the post office where I get my mail. I hope they sprout because I did not keep them in the fridge, but I did sample 2 of the nuts and they were good except one was dried. I was unsure about storing after I place them in soil, but I re-watched your video and read some of the comments and replies.
Hello This is Algae. If your seeds are of good quality, they will surely germinate. A warm spring has arrived in the northern hemisphere right now. Water the seeds to germinate safely and prevent the soil from drying out. Have a good day :)
Hello this is Algae. Thank you for sharing good information :) Recently, pecan farms in Korea have been forming on a small scale. Although it is similar to walnuts, pecan's cultivation methods are not completely identical, so it seems to be heavily referenced by the farming methods of America, the birthplace of pecans. Thank you for visiting. Have a good day :)
Thank you for your video🙏 please tell me where you put the seeds to wait for germination? Do they need to be stratified? Or can I just keep them on my countertop?
Hello, this is Algae. Thank you for leaving a nice question :) I put the plastic containers in which the pecans were planted indoors, and the pecans germinated at a room temperature of 25℃. According to many previous academic studies, it is known that a low-temperature (about 4℃) condition is essential or helpful for the stratification of pecan. I agree and support the opinions of these studies. I bought pecan from a farm in late winter. On the farms that produce pecans, their produce is properly air-dried and stored in cold storage. Probably the time I bought the pecan was around 2-3 months after their harvest had been stored in the cold storage. Therefore, I thought that the seeds had already been stored at a low temperature for a sufficient period of time, so I did not apply any additional low-temperature treatment and planted the pecan. I recommend low-temperature treatment for at least 1-2 months. I hope your question has been resolved. Have a good day :)
i have one seed that the root came out and went down about 3.5 inche so far. it's been a couple of weeks but nothing is growing up towards the sun. No leaves! is this normal?
Hello this is Algae. Thank you for the nice question :) I kept pecans in the refrigerator to keep them as food. At the same time, the seeds undergo stratification during storage in the refrigerator. According to my knowledge, it is necessary for the seeds to be stratified by exposure to low temperatures. Stratification is essential for high germination rates, although a few seeds will germinate without stratification. I recommend stratification under low temperature conditions for 1-2 months or more. Have a good day :)
Hello this is Algae. Thank you for leaving an interesting question :) It is okay to crack the shell, but removing the shell is not allowed. Honestly, my opinion is that the act of making crack is also not essential. Have a good day :)
My neighbor feeds the squirrels, and I always find pecans buried all over the yard. Today I found what I thought was a weed, pulled it out hard and shook the dirt off. A pecan flew off. I was upset I broke a pecan off the seedling but it had a pretty established root. I replanted and I’m hoping for the best!
Hello, this is Algae. Congratulations on your valuable experience :) The reason squirrels can act as gardeners and watchmen of the forest is because they forget where their seed storage is. The pecan seedlings you found probably started as a result of a squirrel forgetting where they stored their seeds. Pecan seedlings are quite strong. Even if some parts are broken, they will try to grow another branch and become a strong tree. I hope you grow a huge pecan tree in the future. Have a nice day :)
Yes that’s what I’ve found, the squirrels do not retrieve all of the buried nuts. I replanted the little sapling but squirrels dug it up and killed it…I am hoping to find another! I find all sorts of nature’s treasures on my property, 😁
Hello this is Algae. Thank you for leaving a good question :) I focus on maintaining a certain level of moisture rather than watering at regular intervals. When the soil surface becomes dry, water abundantly until the entire pot is thoroughly soaked. I remember watering once every 1-2 weeks during the wet season, and 1-2 times a week during the dry season. It depends on the environment. If you grow it outdoors in the open, you will need to water it once every 1-2 days. Have a good day :)
Hello, this is Algae. Thank you for watching my video :) I hope this video has been helpful for you to grow pecan. And I hope some of the pecans in your basket can grow into nice trees Have a good day :)
Awesome Experiment Fellow GarDeneR...we may not haVe all of the answers when we aRe GerminatinG somethinG for the fiRst time...but with Great PatienCe we eventually figure thinGs out!✌😍😇🌎🌹🌱🌱🌱🌹🌎🌏🌍🌷🌻🐰🌻🌷☕🍵☕
Thanks for the info, pecan saplings are $ so I want to germinate many instead of buying saplings. I want 20 or so pecan trees to compliment my other food bearing trees.
Hello this is Algae. I'm glad my video can be helpful to you :) I agree with you. I also believe that it is economical to produce understock (as a material for grafting) by ourselves. Although there are specialized understock varieties, I think other general varieties will suffice. In Korea, mandschurian walnut (Juglans mandshurica) is often used as understock for walnut (Juglans regia) and pecan (Carya Illinoinensis). If you have the opportunity to obtain mandschurian walnut seedlings, I recommend taking advantage of them. Have a good day :)
Hello this is Algae. Thanks for sharing your story :) I always admire large gardens abroad. In Korea, even having a small garden near home is very difficult. Anyway, I hope the new pecan trees you sprout will be nice trees. Have a good day :)
Hello this is Algae. Thank you for leaving a good question :) It is very difficult to predict when trees grown from seeds will produce fruit and seeds. It takes at least three years, and the time when the first fruit is produced varies from individual to individual. I'm sorry for not giving you a clear answer. And I hope your tree rewards your patience. Have a good day :)
Hello This is Algae. I'm sorry I can't help you. I purchased them from a pecan farm in Korea. Therefore, I do not know how to grow imported pecan. Besides, I don't know how to buy pecan in India. Have a good day :)
Hello this is Algae. Thank you for your suggestion :) Honestly, I considered buying better tools. Still, since I don't have much to do to break the nut shell, I didn't go through with my purchase plan. If another opportunity arises, I will accept your suggestion then. Have a good day :)
I also use 10" Grove Joint Pliers (aka channel lock pliers) to crack the shell. Allow them to open air dry for 3-4 or more weeks is also very beneficial for the cracking and subsequent kernel removal.
Hello, this is Algae. Thank you for watching my video :) I bought pecan from a farm in Korea. In Korea, pecan is consumed by bakery ingredients and drinks like hazelnuts, but most pecan supply depends on imports from abroad. Recently, a small number of farms attempted to produce pecan, and I bought their early products. Most of the pecans imported by Korea are the products that have been removed the shell. If you want to buy a pecan that is not removed the shell, you may have to visit a farm that grows pecan or find a special supplier. I hope you can get the right seeds for growing pecan.

Hola!cuánto tiempo en agua?porque no se el idioma muchas gracias ❤
Did you have to refrigerate the nuts first? Is it necessary? Great video!

Definitely going to try this! - in Chicago
Did they sprout inside or were you leaving them outside?
Thank you good video
Hello this is Algae.

Do you place the seeds in light when trying to sprout?
where you got the seeds from
Do the nuts need the shell to grow.

It is okay to crack the shell, but removing the shell is not allowed.

As you are growing the pecans, after they start sprouting leaves how often you you water them.

Most of mine cracked in the fridge for the 2 months I stratified them and then germinated fast on heat pad
Thanks for the info, pecan saplings are $ so I want to germinate many instead of buying saplings. I want 20 or so pecan trees to compliment my other food bearing trees.
Hello this is Algae.
I'm glad my video can be helpful to you :)
I agree with you.
I also believe that it is economical to produce understock (as a material for grafting) by ourselves.
Although there are specialized understock varieties, I think other general varieties will suffice.
In Korea, mandschurian walnut (Juglans mandshurica) is often used as understock for walnut (Juglans regia) and pecan (Carya Illinoinensis).
If you have the opportunity to obtain mandschurian walnut seedlings, I recommend taking advantage of them.

Did you keep them in refrigerator?
Hello this is Algae.
Thank you for leaving a good question :)
you are right.
I kept them in the refrigerator for about 1-2 months.

how long till they produce nuts?
Years
Good video. I love pecans. My father in law has a tree. I may try this for our yard. TX

At which age a seed grown pecan shall bear the fruits
Hello this is Algae.
Thank you for leaving a good question :)
It is very difficult to predict when trees grown from seeds will produce fruit and seeds.
It takes at least three years, and the time when the first fruit is produced varies from individual to individual.

Channel Locks Work Much Better Than Pliers For Cracking Pecans And Other Nut Shells.
Hello this is Algae.
Thank you for your suggestion :)
Honestly, I considered buying better tools.
Still, since I don't have much to do to break the nut shell, I didn't go through with my purchase plan.
If another opportunity arises, I will accept your suggestion then.

I also use 10" Grove Joint Pliers (aka channel lock pliers) to crack the shell. Allow them to open air dry for 3-4 or more weeks is also very beneficial for the cracking and subsequent kernel removal.
