Common names: Pecan tree, Pecan hickory, Pecan nut, Pecan
Scientific name: Carya illinoinensis
Family: Juglandaceae
Growth history & use:
The pecan nut, with an antioxidant content higher than any other so-called "tree nut," is one of the most popular nuts on the market. The pecan tree originates from North America, where the USA and Mexico together account for over 90% of the global pecan nut production. The nut resembles the continent’s walnut but is more elongated, has a smooth shell, and a completely different aroma.
The pecan nut contains abundant minerals such as zinc, magnesium, calcium, and iron as well as Omega-6 fats.
The nuts contain monounsaturated fats, and their well-known benefits for good health are many.
Pecan nuts can, for example, be used to make a crispy topping for oven-roasted fillets, fill baked peppers, brighten up a salad, sprinkle on ice cream, or simply be eaten as they are. A handful of nuts per day is the recommended daily intake.
Cultivation:
The pecan tree grows in its natural environment along river and stream banks where the tree can stretch its roots deep into the soil. In its natural growing environment, pecan trees often eventually become the tallest and largest trees in the area. They can reach an age of up to 300 years.
Thrives best in sunny locations in light sandy soil with good drainage. Plant in a deep pot during the first years or directly into the ground. Plenty of space for the roots to stretch deeply is important to create a strong and healthy tree.
Mix compost or stable manure into the top layer of soil. Cover the base of the trunk with some type of mulch, such as wood chips or grass clippings, to prevent the growth of weeds and thus competition for the newly established tree.
Plant trees at least 15 meters apart to allow room for their natural large size.
Water generously during the first years of establishment.
The tree is ready for harvest after 3-8 years.
Nuts ripen in late autumn. Harvest when the tree has naturally dropped the nuts to the ground.
