Lakota Pecan Tree
The Lakota pecan tree is a type II, protogynous cultivar that was developed by the University of Georgia Pecan Breeding Program. It is a cross between the Mahan and Major cultivars, and is known for its high yields, early maturity, and excellent scab resistance.
Lakota pecan trees typically grow to a height of 75-100 feet and a width of 40-75 feet. They have a strong, wind-resistant structure and produce large, high-quality nuts. The nuts are easy to shell and have a rich, flavorful kernel.
Lakota pecan trees are relatively low-maintenance. They prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. They are drought-tolerant once established, but they will benefit from regular watering during the first year after planting. Fertilize Lakota pecan trees once a year in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
Lakota pecan trees are a good choice for home gardens, commercial orchards, and park plantings. They are also a good choice for growing in colder climates, as they are relatively cold-hardy.
Here are some additional tips for growing Lakota pecan trees:
- Plant Lakota pecan trees in the spring or fall, when the soil is cool and moist.
- Space Lakota pecan trees 40-60 feet apart.
- Water Lakota pecan trees regularly, especially during the first year after planting.
- Fertilize Lakota pecan trees once a year in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
- Mulch around Lakota pecan trees to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Prune Lakota pecan trees as needed to remove dead or diseased branches and to shape the tree.
Lakota pecan trees are a beautiful and productive addition to any landscape. They provide shade, food, and wildlife habitat. With proper care, Lakota pecan trees can thrive for many years to come.
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plants are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in Fall and Winter and will lose most of their leaves looking dead and dry, this is very normal. They will flush out in Spring.
We cannot ship certain plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by the Department of Agriculture.
