Hey guys! Thanks for your support - don't forget to thumbs up and share if you liked the video. Cheers :)
Hey Mark your place looks very green and beautiful. Which part of QLD are you in? The area looks like my kinda retirement (early) climate. BTW I like your videos, they are very informative. Thanks for taking time to make these.
Self Sufficient Me , keep growing.new subscriber
Self Sufficient Me well I've just spend 3 hours watching your videos,absolutely love how you grow in those galvanised tubs,learnt lots today,I wasn't going to do much veg growing this year but I've just been and checked my compost heap so I can use it in some large round tubes I hope they,l do!! I'm from Sheffield England so we do have a bit of difference in climate so doubt I could get a pecan tree to fruit in my life time lol. Great site informative and straight to the point,I'll be sharing......Thank you.
pecan trees grows and produces well in Mediterranean climate as well.
Do you ever sell the seeds?
hi mark, Gail from North Carolina with a delicious pecan pie recipe. I hope you get it. 2 eggs,1/2 cup sugar,1/2 cup karo syrup,2 Tbsp butter, 2 Tbsp.flour, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 3/4 cup pecans, pinch of salt. Beat eggs well and add sugar,syrup and melted butter.Add flour and mix well. Add vanilla,salt and pecans. Pour mixture in an unbaked pie shell and bake at 425 degrees F. for 5 minutes and then reduce temperature to 300 degrees F. and bake for 45 minutes. enjoy!!
You're AWESOME Gail - thank you for the recipe! I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers :)
Awesome video! My mother had a large pecan tree in her backyard that grew from a nut a squirrel planted. We enjoyed pecans year round as she shelled the pecans then put them in the freezer. I am sure you have gotten a lot of recipes but just wanted to share my aunt’s recipe, She came from the depression era. She was famous in our family gatherings for this pie,
1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup Karo syrup, 3 beaten eggs, 1/4 cup melted butter (not margarine), 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1 cup pecans. Mix. Bake 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Yum!
Hi Pat! What a great story and thank you for the recipe I will give it a go for sure! Cheers :)
@@Selfsufficientme hi mark...i want to ask you..can i plant hazelnut directly using with the nut shell?
Do you add flour on your pecan pie ?
I was just making arrangements to have a tree cut on the new homestead when I noticed these nuts!! WOWZER we have PECANS!!! I love pecans! These huge trees look to be at least 30 years old! We should get a great harvest for market this year.
Celestes Nest. Great find and lucky you.
I'm in Delaware USA, my pecan tree is about 50 years old and just started producing pecans 3 years ago. Boy was I surprised, happy too. Definitely can't beat a traditional pecan pie.
I wonder if one of your neighbors planted a pecan tree and your tree finally had a cross pollinator after decades!
I love pecans! Pralines, pecan pie, pecan sandies, roasted pecans, raw pecans, pecans on sweet potato casserole, the list goes on. Your pecan trees are beautiful!! Thanks!! -Lea
Hi Lea, I had to Google what pecan sandies were! They look delicious! Thanks :)
🤣😂😂🤣🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
lol
They don't tend to interfere with driveways or buildings I have one planted only a few feet from the driveway for 20+ years without problem
Thanks for sharing your experience mate :)
Even then you can create a very simple cover that most houses in my home town have (everyone has pecans)
I grew up with Pecan trees in our yard in New Mexico, USA. Our trees were huge & we mostly let them drop and then picked up. My friends family had an orchard & they had some kind of attachment they hooked up on their tractor with a wide strap they would wrap around the tree and it would shake the tree and the nuts would fall to the ground. Needless to say growing up around pecans it is still my favorite nut.
Pecans grow like weeds here in northeastern Mexico. You can get quite the number of kilos of pecans just aside of the road hahahaha
Yes like San Antonio if you dont take care of ur yard it will end up like a forest lol
I'm actually starting to collect and grow on the side to sell on offer up lol for cheap since I'm disabled for now
I also have over 12 growing in a 15 feet by 5 feet garden area. I'm not complaining though. I love pecan trees.
@@frankdatank2529 you live in san antonio....
You did this video 4 years ago. Such a good presentation and well balanced. How are your trees going now?
Hi Mark, so glad to see you growing Pecans trees. I'm a Northern California between Sacramento and Chico. Our orchard is about 145 acers. I can safely say they were very Hardy and it took our trees to produce about 9 years. They love water they are a creek and river bottom tree. make sure you water real well the late two months of harvest. Because the nut is a milk sack nut till close to harvest. You cannot beat a pecan pie. Make sure use Maple syrup when making the pie it's the best taste for your pie and candied nuts, Maple syrup cup, salt 1tsp, cinnamon 2 tsp. and 3cups pecan meats put together in a sauce pan and heat up to med high when the mixture starts to get hardenup, then spread on to parchment paper and let dry. It's so easy and yummy, have lots of fun with your Pecans Enjoy Robin Platter from Plumas Lake, California USA 🌿🍃👍😋
Hi Robin! You sure sound like an expert in pecans and thanks for your pecan pie making instructions and tips I'm really grateful you shared them with me/us! Your pie recipe with Maple syrup seems easy enough to make so I'll give it a go. All the best! Cheers :)
Roberta Platter the
Harold Fellion what can I do for you?
Hi thanks for this informative video. I have just realized that I have a pecan tree in my garden in Malta (middle of the Mediterranean). I am over 40 years old, and the tree has been there all of my lifetime, so I estimate it is more than 50 years old now. In my lifetime, this is the first year that it has produced successfully, and it is an enormous quantity of fruit, which is ripe right now (start of Winter here in Malta in mid-December). Till now, I had been told that the tree is a walnut tree, but after this year's production, I have read more about this kind of tree, and have just established that it is a pecan tree. This year we had a warmer early Summer in the middle Mediterranean sea, and I suspect it is one reason why fruit production has been good and successful. I estimate the tree is about from 10-15 metres tall now. This is a very rare tree in Malta, and I am very proud of it.
Hello, I'm from Algeria, I have 2 huge pecan trees they are 40 years old, and they keep producing high quality pecan, and the weather helps a lot, when they are completely ready to remove, the winds start, and helps the pecan to fall of, they are tasty (sorry for my bad english, I love your content )
YOUR ENGLISH IS NOT WEAK BROTHER. JUST TELL ME I HAVE TWO PECONS TREES FOR THE LAST THIRTEEN YEARS I AM WAITING FOR FRUITS BUT STILL IT DID NOT BEAR FRUITS WHEREAS THE TREES ARE VERY WELL GROWING AND HEALTHY.ME FROM PESHAWAR PAKISTAN
Mark, I love your channel, and am learning SO much. We just got 6 chicks, and are putting in a fruit orchard with irrigation during the quarantine. A tip about getting the high-up pecans from your trees- if they’re just hanging on there in their brown hulls, you can tap or whack them with a long pole, such as a bamboo cane. It will cause a pecan downpour, and the children love scampering around to pick them up! Thank you for your channel, and God bless you and yours!☺️
YOU DON'T PICK PECANS OR ALMONDS OR MACADAMIA NUTS IT MUST FALL OFF
Great video! I've have a small 10 acre Pecan orchard in Texas. I would suggest a zinc foliage spray when they first leaf out, then a couple months later to get more nut production. Keep up the great vids!
Zinc foliage spray - got it! Thank you very much for the tip Cody! Cheers mate :)
I live in Dallas and really want to grow in in my backyard
Help i just got a pecan tree, but how far I need to plant the from my house?,i have a mobile home so I don't pluming under the ground.
@@priyas5004 we live in the Dallas area as well. Our problem is the squirrels eat our pecans before harvesting time. I wander if we can harvest them just before harvest time?
If you don’t have a foundation I wouldn’t worry about how close you plant it. I have seen trees butt up against houses live comfortably. If you have the space 15’ or more would be fine.
Hi Mark, your place is very beautiful! I'm from Texas and will send you a Texas Pecan Recipe! Let me research today and get back with you! It's great you are growing a pecan tree and maintaining its growth. So others like myself with limited space can try this as well! Thank you so much!
Thanks Karen! :)
11:10 "pecan-y tasting." Such a great description of its flavor! :)
I've been watching all of your vids over the past hour or so and I've gotta say you are inspiring!
Hello from Alabama USA. Here in the south we have pecan trees growing like weeds. Just to let you know, pecan trees are very shallow rooted and will blow over in a wind most especially if it comes with rain ( monsoon season ). We love pecans here in the south but just incase you didn't know pecan wood is awesome for smoking or bbq. It does tend to lose quite a bit of small branches. Save those for cooking. You will love it. Rarely do the huge branches split off. It's usually the entire tree that comes down or small branches. Welcome to southern eats. Lol. Pecan pie YUMMY
Oh by the way only top the tree once it's cold and make sure you disinfect the cut and seal with tree sealant or it will kill your tree. Your area looks alot like ours. Hot and wet so fungal disease will set in if you cut it at the wrong time.
You should look online for "Candied-Pecans." A friend of the families went to Mexico for vacation and brought back and gave my Mother some candied pecans she got on her trip. My mother gave me some and I asked he what they were. She told me her friend got them on her vacation. I couldn't stop eating them. I then went online looking for recipes of how to make them. There are so many different ways to make them. I also noticed there are also videos for some of these recipes. Some are simple and straight forward and others are more complex with alcohol added to the recipe. The pecans I had looked like they were cooked in a brown sugar powdered sugar mix and were dry to the touch. Having a tree of your own should make you very popular if you find a good candied pecan recipe.
My father is his favorite tree. He was passed away since I’m 10 years old. I used this tree for crop and memorial.
Hello Mark, Your right, here in the USA the climates mostly won't grow Pecans, but here in Arkansas, USA we have a huge peacan tree in our yard (great shade) too large to pick the nuts until late fall. We give 5 gallon buckets full away and keep a couple bushel basket full for ourselves. I discovered some new young seedling pecan trees came up from seeds I babied them 6 of them for 5 years, they are now fruiting and I've fallen in love with them. Jessie USA
It is April in South Africa and my daughter has just planted our pecan nuts.........we live on a plot in Pretoria. Thirty years ago, I planted a Walnut seed that brought from Prague.... It grew and now we have a bowl of nuts every year. I hope I will not have to wait so long for my pecan nuts....many thanks for your advice. Go well, Jill
I just tried this, my pecan grew roots. Ready to get it growing.
Since I was a kid I like trees. And I enjoy watching your program and know that I have my beatiful wife. I will plant a tree of pecan because my wife and me we always buy bags of pecan at HEB. but know I will budget my money because know I will have a tree of pecan. for my wife and for my daughter's and son's. Ok I will see you next time GodBless you. Janie and Roman....
Love your videos
You are a very humble guy.
Lots of love from New York
I feel like visiting Australia just to see your garden! Love your videos!
I love pecans! I love my home, but sometimes I wish I lived somewhere peaches and pecans could grow.
You can get low chill peaches nowadays - we have 3 x peach trees. Try the angel peach (or flat peach) it should do well in a subtropical climate and it tastes great too. Cheers :)
Self Sufficient Me
Oh, no. I'm at the other end. I need -40 hardy trees. I found some Russian almonds, but there is some debate whether they're edible or not.
Oh ok, gosh that's cold! All the best :)
Love the idea of keeping your nut tree small! The house we moved into 2 years ago has a Shagbark Hickory nut tree that is about 40 feet tall or more, with all the leaves and nuts at the very top, gorgeous tree. However, I think I need to invest in some hard hats, lol, those nuts fall with some velocity! They taste similar to a pecan and the husks are kind of split like that too, but don't just open up on the tree like that. I may have to rethink having more nut trees!
I know I'm slow on the uptake here, but I wondered if you'd ever done spicy pecans for your salads. I coat mine is just enough maple or honey to make the spices stick. I then sprinkle with cayenne, a little salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Roast at 375F and they make LOVELY salad topper. I also often do this to garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas), and/or hazelnuts (aka philberts) and top salads with one of the nuts and the beans together.
Thanks for the video. Greetings from Spain. I'm planning to start growing them, here the weather is also quite good for pecans. Enjoy the Pecans Pies!
Hi I'm new NC just moved from a house with pecan trees in the the backyard. Didn't get many for 2 years due to the squirrels would beat me to them. The squirrels always harvest the nut before they fell from the trees. The squirrels would take off the husk and shove the pecans in their cheeks then go store and come back for more. If I was standing under a tree at times I would get hit on the top of my head with some empty husk. There was a low branch on one of the trees they would leave always three pecans but if I took too long get them they came back for them too. Enjoy!
Loiuse Atchison a .22 caliber rifle will solve the squirrel problem
tim jones 😂😂😂😉
I have a paint ball gun. The squirrels go out of their way to avoid my yard.
my grandma makes the best pecan pie, we have tons of trees, ps we live in south Georgia usa
Привет!
Я мало понимаю по английски, поэтому оставлю комментарий на русском)))
Мужик! Это первое твоё видео, которое я смотрю и мне очень нравится твоя подача👍
Буду смотреть с удовольствием всё остальное.
Сам тоже мечтаю заняться фермерством и выращивать орехи.
Привет с Урала! Это граница Европы и Азии. Россия.
Chocolate pecan pie is also worth trying, I made a pie using store bought pecans which are probably stale, but the pie still was very good. Supermarkets usually don't have good quality nuts, as they should be fridged or frozen to slow down oxidation of nut oils which causes rancidity.
THE OLDER THE NUTS THE BETTER MATURE
Nice pecan, we grow them here in central Texas and they do well in clay. heavy spring rains and brutal hot mid summers. They seem to do just fine. If only the squirrels would share them with me ;/
a400t, those North American grey squirrels get there first here in the UK. Some bright spark thought they would look nice on their country estate and so they prospered here ousting our beautiful red squirrel and causing destruction to trees and even raiding my strawberries before they are ripe. I have to say I would like squirrel leg stew to the next must have food.
Those pesky squirrels... but they look so cute! Cheers :)
I've seen old pecan trees growing directly in clay that was hard enough to bounce a hammer. The tree roots will break the clay. They don't mind hard ground as long as there're minerals in it.
They’re capable and hardy, but that’s not ideal for a productive pecan tree. Here in Texas pecan trees are everywhere, but the primary areas are moist soils, usually located near water.
Hard clay soils will dramatically reduce production.
@@chiefearthhealer8099 That's probably true, but I saw this in my grandfather's pecan orchard in Georgia. The trees produced very well, but they were also fertilized every so often.
NM...ENOUGH SAID...LOL
In south Louisiana we have a saying that you don't plant out crops until the pecan buds. I tell my family personally that it's time to transplant because the "pecan told me to". Maybe they bud faster here or you don't get the last little cold front we get every year. Early spring it will be green, lush and in the 70s-80s everyday out and you will be tempted to plant but you will always get hit with a surprise couple of days with north winds and temps dipping to 40s at night. I don't know anyone that is really in to gardening around here that doesn't wait for their pecan to give the ok.
Very wise words and it makes perfect sense to use nature as a guide like that. Thanks for sharing that info! :)
Pecans are literally the best tree ever made. My hometown and Texas seemed to go crazy for them as soon as they arrived and, especially in the older poorest parts of town every house has 1-3 pecan trees. I remember being able to get like 4 trash bags worth of pecans just from my grandmas house alone
I just found your videos a couple weeks ago and have been enjoying them and learning a lot. As far as pecan pie, the easiest ways to get the same taste is to eat the pecans with dates. Tastes exactly the same! As a kid living in Texas, we would go and gather pecans all the time! Once I clear the empty lot we have, I'm going to plant one! Thank you!
enjoy your food , it was a wonderful and interesting video. This fruit is very healthy and has great benefits for the whole body, especially mental focus. thank you my friend ✅ I live in Algeria 👍💐
he is very informative n he has very good knowledge about farming
Thanks for. sharing
love u friend
Thank you Sowrendra! Cheers :)
Man the squirrels here are maddening if you grow nuts or try to keep bird feeders. I love hearing them bark and argue in the trees but once they get into the front yard they’re nothing but trouble lol.
Tell me about it my dogs go crazy for squirrels and there just barking all day at them its cool cause , I wonder if squirrels taste good or is it illegal to kill and eat them in the city , I know that show with the duck calling uncle si and his family shoot them off the tree , and they say they taste good I mean all they eat is nuts lol
Oh! Black walnut are one of my favorites.
Hi Mark. I just found you. Liked the name. Beautiful pecan tree. When I was about 4/5, we moved onto a property with 48 pecan trees. They made empty shells. We were told that it was because they were never grafted. Nice trees and eventually we moved away so I don't know what happened. probably just used for shade and houses built. Just my silly experience. Good luck with your crop. Enjoy the pies.
We bought some hickory seedlings this year. It's too cold here by the Rockies for pecans but hickory nuts are said to be very similar. One of the tribes of native Indians makes milk with the hickory nut to cook corn meal. I don't have any hickory nuts yet but am looking forward to trying it with pecan milk
Hi Mark! I enjoyed your video. I just planted my pecan tree started from a seed. I can't wait to see it grow!
My oldest son liked pecan pie so much that one Christmas season he ate so many pecan pies that now even a photograph of a pecan pie makes him feel ill.
You had me at Pecan Pie. Talk about the proper use of a nut.
Another great tip thanks mark I planted 2 a few months ago lucky I watch your videos because I realise now they are a big tree I better move them 😱
Thanks Paul, yeah better to move them whilst young than trying to later on! Cheers :)
I'm glad you got to grow pecans, they're great! They're everywhere here where I'm at in Texas. We make home made pecan pie for Thanksgiving every year. I'll give you the recipe if you'd like. Glad to see your tree is doing good. :)
My best friend in Texas has 4 varieties between her house, her moms house next door and her neighbor on the other side. She sends them to me each autumn since my mom passed. My mom used to send them to me before that and she lived in Oklahoma. They grow like weeds in those 2 states.
Here's a little tip. When cracking them by hand, be a little gentler. Gently crack, turn the nut, gently crack again. Like an egg shell. Then pull the shards off. You'll be able to pull out a whole nut. Pull in half to remove the shell like center. Enjoy.
Love it! We are subtropical here in Tampa, FL so I hope to someday have a few nut trees on our future homestead, too. Thanks for another great video! Loved that you showed the variety of the tree that was fantastic!
Thank you! Yes Florida's climate is very similar to ours - there's plenty of options for growing food. Cheers :)
Our main problems in the USA are squirrels (that cut them off and drop them to the ground), woodpeckers, and an insect that bores holes in the ones the squirrels cut off.
I would expect pecans to have more "predators" since they are native to the USA. I don't mind pests getting some fruit or nuts as long as they leave a fair amount for me! :)
The back of the Karo Syrup bottle has the best recipe LOL
That tree is so beautiful!! You definitely are giving it great care, because it is huge and very prolific! That is a cool looking basket, and it looks like the pecans taste amazing!!
Honestly, the bushing out is my strategy for all the trees I am planting. Nut trees, fruit trees... I will be keeping them all small and bushy. I really don't care for any tree whose fruit I can't reach up and grab.
Yeah I agree, I break so many growing rules in my backyard LOL but hey who cares - it works! Cheers :)
No need to pick pecans from the tree, as they drop when ripe, and are safe inside their shells. Not only is the tree in the video prone to splitting, it will never produce the wonderful wood that pecan trees yield. The trees can live for hundreds of years, but when its life ends, or if damaged by storms, or it stands in the way of development or whatever, the wood is fabulous - if it is allowed to grow naturally.
Watch out for wild pigs though, they love to eat the fallen nuts.
The wood is also great for smoking/bbq'ing meat. So keep the prunings.
Punky Rooster no need to top a pecan tree unless you are worried about them falling on your home. Pecans fall when ready you dont have to harvest them. You pick them off the ground. But pecans are very tall tree (usually over 75') and have a very shallow root system. Beware of topping unless it's cold. And always disinfect the cut and seal with tree sealant others you will kill your tree.
I love pecan thanks and God bless
brazilian nut, pestatio , peanuts , almonds(debadeble) pecans. all southern nuts
Thanks Rodney I'll definitely investigate the pistachio to see if we get enough chill but it sounds promising! Cheers ;)
Pecan is the state tree of Texas. Here in Lubbock they're everywhere. You're right, I hate the shape of your pecan tree :D That would snap in half in the Lubbock wind. I'm no expert though, but I know they do like nitrogen and zinc. There are several varieties that are adapted to the different climates. We get quite hot and do have some hard freezes, as well as lots of drought, and the pecans do just fine. We don't harvest them off the tree, just off the ground. We pick a ton and the grackles get the rest. FYI, keep the shells to throw in your fire or smoker when smoking or grilling your food.
I love pecans too. I make pies too. Thanks for sharing!
Here because my dad brought some pecans from NC to South Texas and he planted one. It's now about 4 Inches tall and the second pair of leaves are out. 🙏 Hoping that it makes it.
Helpful tip from Arkansas, USA (pecans galore)..pre-roast half the pecans before combining with ingredients for your pie 😉
great video
great comments,
thank you all, esp. Mark.
Love your videos!! Thank you so much for all the super helpful information!
Hello Mark;
Pecans are my favorite nut. I dislike most walnuts because they cause a burning sensation in my mouth. Pecans do not.
I was fortunate enough to have a neighbor, with a very old pecan tree, when I lived in California. They would let me come over a gather pecans, and they had a handy gadget for picking them off the ground. It was a round ball made from loops of wire, attached to a handle. when you rolled the ball over the ground, the nuts would slide between the loops, ending up on the inside of the ball. You could then spread the loops, letting the nuts fall in to your bucket.
Good luck with the pies. I look forward to the video.
A pecan picker-uperer! Now that's handy! Thanks for the info I'm going to have to research this device more. Yes I'll post the pecan pie video for sure. Cheers :)
www.nutsolutions.com.au Nut harvester. This is exactly the same device that I used. Just be advised that it also picks up poo...
How cool is that! Thanks Scott :)
Self Sufficient Me
hey my friend, i started my own business without owning a farm, my city is packed with old pecan trees, last season i sold more than 700 kg, the work is very hard, its too much for one person, but i am in love with this nuts, they give me good money and good food, here in brazil they cost 99 R$ per kg without shell, i sell them with shell because the taste is better, with no dehidration the quality is superior, but the companies use to dry them, i think because the transport is easier! the point of my idea is selling it for good money, providing acccess to it for people with less money.
now i am thinking about growing it, that first step, germinating it from the nuts, you know how to do? thanks!
i think your smaller tree is too close, i know farms where they have about 5 to 10 meters of distance between the trees!
I realize I am very late to view this video, but WOW, thanks so much. I love your video. I live in Texas where pecan trees are plenty. If and when I find an excellent pecan pie recipe, I will send it your way.
Texas state tree making Austrailians happy. Nice
I love pecans!
Great video, I'm from Oklahoma where they grow all over the place and I used to get bags and collect them from the ground and the tree. Pecan pie is my favorite desert during Thanksgiving and Christmas, so I usually get one all to myself lol
Hello from Texas,
hope you got your American Pecan pie. That is my favourite during the holidays. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing. - Becca
I haven't made the pie yet but I have made the glazed pecans and it was very tasty! I will endeavour to make the pie soon as I still have enough pecans left over. Cheers :)
The recipe on the back of the dark Karo syrup bottle is really good 😊
I have these in my back yard :)))
you are so lucky to be able to grow some nut trees... here in central Canada, not too many will grow.. we get hazelnuts (filberts)... and some oak..... enjoy
Unfortunately, we can't grow hazelnuts here in Queensland but they do grow them down south of Australia where they get proper winter chill. That's the pluses and minuses of different climates I guess and what makes the world so interesting to me. Thank you! :)
You are my favorite thing from Australia other than Powderfinger
Delicate these pecans the way they grown. Sweet and milky they are. Informative I might have plant one, but just to cold here in Seattle.
Oh well... I can't grow some things here either due to too hot (like cherries) but we take the good with the bad I guess! Cheers mate :)
Pecan trees here in Georgia get absolutely massive… as in climbing equipment or one of those commercial tree shaker machines are needed.
This is exactly what I want to do so I can plant a few varieties. I’m glad to see that this bush method is working for other people. I live about an hour from Myrtle Beach and we get a lot of hurricanes so I hope this would work for me. I am going to look and see if you have made any updated videos about this tree bc I’m interested in seeing how it turned out.
i want to move to Australia! looks so beautiful there!
Hi..... Mark, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
After 6 years of your post, your 6 years old pecan trees @ the time the video was taken must be in a full swing to produce lots of fruits.
Amazing. Thankyou so much for all your hard work!!!! I wish we could grow Pecans here in the UK, South Coast, Brighton. Our Mango is still alive (from seed)! Bless you! Stay Safe!
pecans are my favorite nut..love your channel...wish I had a bigger property..but then it's cold here in Ohio so I could never grow those..
Pecans sauteed in coconut oil on low heat may be the best snack in the world!
Maybe try to make a nut butter using pecans. Just blend them and see how they taste as a paste. I would add some sugar or even stevia or something.
Chili pecans, glazed pecans, those are delicious too and make good gifts
Fantastic! Thank you for the tips and the fun, hand-cracking technique!
Chocolate chip pecan cookies are amazing!
Very good.i like it. Very beautiful. Live health happy and long life for your garden.andyour family.
Thanks for your kinds wishes Sameera! :)
in the US the main problem is squirrels and strangers getting in your yard and helping themselves.
+exlowcarber if the cost of living keeps going up with wages growth staying suppressed stealing backyard produce will only get worse lol... cheers :)
That's why we don't plant fruiting trees in our front garden or along any fencing facing a public area. Don't mind people picking some to eat but we worry they'll be careless and damage the trees.
I am so guilty. except for I don't go in their yards. I go along the side walks and help myself to the ones that fell off the tree lol
bootstrap garden In VA, our squirrels target us and drop them on our heads when we are gardening. Huge 100 y/o pecans here in our historic neighborhood.
norweavernh 😂😂😂
Man, those are some nice pecans, Mark! Fortunately, We can grow those here ; )
Thanks Keith! :)
Love the vid thanks
Someone gave me a pecan tree today. I planted it in my side yard. I can’t wait until I start getting nuts off it. I will probably just about have my house paid off by then but it will be worth it! I am going to get a few more next year.
Thank you for verry informative video.I live in the walnut country in the Carpathian mountains (wall nut means vallachian nut) and asside rare walnut species(i have somme cultivars that make the biggest walnuts in the world) i also plant hickoryes and pekans but northern pekans and they grow much slower than in your area.The best tasting nut tree i think its the chinese hickory but is verry little known outside of china and impossible to get fresh seeds;
Thanks for the great info and video Mark! Do you put Zinc on your pecan trees? I have read if you don't then you don't get any nuts. We put down Fertilome Citrus, Fruit, Citrus and Pecan Tree Food 19-10-5 and also a bag of Zinc on them. Also, have you considered getting a "Reed's Rocket America's Finest Nut " (Around $25). Very nice hand pecan nut cracker with a size adjustable chamber for the pecans. We have really enjoyed ours! P.S. Don't buy imitations, as they break.
Got one of these in my backyard. It's HUGE. So. Many. Nuts. Feeds all the damn squirrels. They also produce a long seedlike structure that they drop in massive quantities. They're difficult to pick up. Damn whoever planted this.
I Love To Have A Few Pecan Trees
cool I didn't know you could grow them in SE Queensland, think I'll add one of them
just ordered one

I really hope you keep us posted on your trimming that pecan tree. I have no problems with keeping fruit trees "bushy" but I've heard it's not so good for nut trees. However, yours seems to be doing great. We live in a heavily wooded area in Texas and have to keep the trees trimmed or sunlight won't get to the fruit trees/garden. Have you seen the youtubes on espalier trimming fruit trees? If anyone can make a success of that technique, it's you! Thanks for your videos. By the way our pecan tree is huge and production is so heavy the entire family groans when it's time to harvest.
Hi Bertha, yes there's a possibility over pruning the pecan could be negative so I'm going to take it easy and I will keep the updates coming - thanks for the warning. I have espaliered a few olive trees as a feature on the back of our house it certainly does have it's merits! Sounds like you have a great pecan tree! Cheers :)
If you like chocolate and whip cream... chocolate pecan delight with pecab crust is yummy
