re: Recommendation where to purchase pecan trees BR surrounding area

The LSU AgCenter recommends several cultivars for home planting. These choices produce excellent quality pecans and have good to excellent resistance to scab disease. Select from the Elliot, Candy, Sumner, Houma, Caddo, Oconee and Melrose cultivars, as they are better suited for home landscapes.

Pecans must be cross-pollinated to produce well. Generally, there are enough pecan trees in an area for this to be accomplished if you plant just one tree.
Pecans are wind pollinated, and the pollen can travel some distance. However, if there are no pecan trees in your area, you should plant two different types -- Elliot, Candy, Sumner or Melrose with either Houma, Caddo or Oconee.
