How to Grow Pecan Trees from Seed

My dad planted several hardy Wisconsin pecan trees from seed nearly 35 years ago. The seed was actually harvested from wild pecan trees growing along the Mississippi river in southwestern Wisconsin and distributed among members of the Northern Nut Growers Asscociation, which my dad was, fortunately, a member of during the 70's. We have been getting crops of pecans from those same trees for years now. However, because animals and rodents have been a rising problem we haven't been able to successfully sow and germinate them in the ground (like my dad did all those years ago). So we decided to experiment and start them inside, and have found a method that has proven very well for us. In this video I'll show you how to start your own pecan nut seed inside - plus, I'll show you how to make your own tree pots from recycled material!
