I will offer my experience - 20+ years ago the
Northern Nut Growers had a pecan seed distribution project - seeds collected
from what I recall was described as 'the northern most known pecan
trees', from an island in the Mississippi -
anyway, I planted 10 seeds and ended up with 4
trees - they bore their first crop of nuts in 2005, @ 21 years old - they are
about 40' tall, a pleasant tree with a vase shape - the nuts are
small, on the order of 1/2 the volume of commercial nuts, quite
tasty, crack reasonably easily, shell out in halves if you're
careful - I've never gathered a quanity - they come during apple harvest and
once the picking crew finds them, I'm lucky to get any at all -
