We grow pecan trees suitable for the Southeastern United States. Finding sustainable varieties for your area is now easier than ever. The 2012 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The map is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree F zones.

There are two important measurements in determining if a particular plant will grow well in your part of the country.
- You must live within the recommended USDA Hardiness Zone (aka Plant Hardiness Zones) and
- If you are planting a fruit/nut tree, you must determine if your area receives enough annual Chill Hours
Plant Hardiness Zones are an approximation of the maximum amount of cold weather a plant can tolerate over winter. Chill Hours (sometimes called Chill Units) are an approximation of how many hours of weather between 32 degrees and 45 degrees (F) a plant requires to properly go dormant so it can wake up and blossom and/or set fruit. For plants to thrive in your geographical area, it may require matching optimum Plant Hardiness Zone compatibility with the optimum Chill Hours. Learn More.
