How to Plant
STEP 1) First, decide on a planting location. Consider carefully what kind of sun, soil, and growing-space your tree or shrub will need.
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.
Care Guide

Pecan trees need water and sun in order to thrive. Be sure to plant in deep, moist, and well-drained soil. During the tree's first growing season, be sure to water regularly, about a gallon of water a day, (though you do not need to water every day in order to accomplish this). Prune pecan trees in the winter, making sure to prune lower hanging branches to encourage upward and lateral growth.

I only have 1 out of 5 trees that is not doing well. The other 4 are ok but nothing compared to the 5 Stuart's

Ellis Tree (Type 2) pecan

So far so good. The tree arrived in apparent great shape, about two feet taller than advertised. I planted it, am watering it, and hoping it makes it through the winter.

Ellis Pecan Tree

The tree arrived in wonderful packaging! Unpacked the tree from the shipping carton, and took the tree out of its growing container and I am concerned with the rood bound condition of the tree. Of the four pecan trees ordered from Plant Me green, this Ellis tree's roots are in the most compacted condition. So, instead of planting the root bound tree in the ground, I have planted the tree in a fifteen gallon fabric pot, with a quality potting medium, and hopefully giving the trees' roots a little grow room will encourage enough new growth for successful placement in my yard in about a year.
