Also asked, how long does it take for a pecan tree to start producing?A grafted pecan tree 4 to 6 feet tall planted in a good site and properly maintained will generally begin production in 6 to 7 years. The more precocious varieties may sometimes start production in 4 to 5 years. The less precocious varieties may take 8 to 10 years to bear. do you need 2 pecan trees to produce nuts? Pecans have both male and female flowers, but they do not bloom at the same time. This basically means that a single pecan tree cannot pollinate itself, and will not produce nuts. To get around this problem, you have to plant at least 2 trees and they cannot be the same “type”. Similarly one may ask, how much money can you make from a pecan tree? A mature pecan orchard can yield from 1,200 to 2,000 pounds of nuts per acre. Walnut trees are grown for both nuts and timber.

He estimates the direct costs of buying and growing the original tree to age 12, when the value of the tree’s production equals the cost to produce the nuts, at $309.
