I tried to find that dwarfing Hickory with no success. It would seem to work for me in that it would start to produce much sooner to show me what I can get. Any place I can get scions to try as an interstem? Or seedlings?

Why not graft the pecan to the dwarf hickory?

Well, Gordon,
That had crossed my mind, but I don't know how well that would work - I'd be concerned that the more vigorous pecan, on top of a hickory rootstock, or even a hardy pecan root with a 'dwarfing' hickory interstem, would 'outgrow' the hickory, and be prone to breakover at the graft union.
Perhaps it's a misplaced concern, but some of the long-timers in the KNGA had warned me about this phenomenon when I first got started playing with nut trees, but I've not actually seen it.

Lucky
