Description

The listing, Large Amling pecan seedlings has ended.

Pictures coming soon!

These come from my mothers house. I have been selling seedlings from 8-16 inch for years in my home town & have decided to try out listia now.

The will be mail bare root, wrapped in wet paper towels & roots put into a plastic bag to keep fresh till you get it. I will also wrap it in card board to try & help it from post office bending it! Sometimes the travel is hard on live plants & leaves may fall off. Please do not be alarmed cuz they will grow back. These are very delicious nuts. Great for salad, pecan pies & much more.

As soon as it arrives please put in a glass of water for a day or two incase it arrives in shock from the travels. After a few days you can either plant it in a pot & let it spring back in the shaded place for a week or so. You can either keep it in a pot & move it to a bigger pot every 6 weeks till your ready to move to it's spot in your yard. You can also put it into your yard when it arrives just try to cover it with some shade & water daily for about a week then you can water every other day for 2 or 3 weeks & taper down to 1 or 2 times a week. Do not water leaves in the sun... They will dry up & die. Only water the root. Any questions please ask. I love helping if I can.

The nut of the Amling Pecan tree is elongated and thin-shelled, and when shelled it is a bright golden color. Bill Goff, the extension pecan specialist at Auburn University in Alabama, stated that the Amling Pecan tree, "appears to be very scab resistant". Disease resistance is very important in Southern states because of the high temperatures and high humidity, and pecan specialists have developed certain new pecan cultivars that are genetically resistant to disease. Besides being a great shade tree with dense leaves, the paper shell nuts are delicious: being loaded with a high oil content along with what Dr. Amling called his discovery "a high quality nut".

will these do well in Oregon ? how do you sprout the pecans, I've been trying for 2 years, and have not had 1 sprout yet.. thanks

Apr 13th, 2015 at 7:53:49 PM PDT by

I'm not sure about Oregon... U will have to check on Internet. We try to pick all pecans from the ground as they fall but we can never get each one. Lol just to many so the following spring millions of baby's come up. I try to keep it tack with the actual pecan when I dig them up but some fall apart cuz the root is already formed. So I don't actually do any of the work myself my good Lord does it for me. Thanks for asking great questions. Good luck if bidding cuz I think I have a great winner here. Oh I forgot they take about 5-7 years to give the first fruit. They grow very quick & spread a beautiful & full shade tree along with the gr8 tasting nuts they grow.

are these big Pecans that the tree Produce, or are they small like the native pecans?

Apr 18th, 2015 at 12:34:42 AM PDT by

These are approximately 3/4 inch wide & about 1 1/2 inch long. Maybe just a little but larger than that. They are pretty big & EZ to crack open with out breaking the actual pecan inside. This pecan is just a lil bit drier in oil compaired to all my other pecan trees that I have but very tasty as the others. Thanks for stopping by & good luck if you decide to bid.

great auction.....I moved to Idaho from Ga..haven't seen one pecan tree here yet...maybe I should bid and see if I can get it to grow here

We have so much stuff growing on all of our property's including queen palms, lemons, oranges, limes & grape fruits that people just swear they do not grow in Texas. My grandmother was always brave to try & mom & I followed her foot steps. People are amazed to see item that only grow in shades out in full sun or visa versa. Our secret has always been grow in a pot... & slowly introduce it the the different elements. I have a huge orange mock tree that I have placed one on each side of my walk way & trimmed & tied up every year for past 10 years. It's not a beautiful white arch that you walk under as yo come up to the front porch. It's just darling. I will be posting rooted cutting of it later on listia. I'm just getting started but my ex ending up in hospital & I've been here for moral support all week. I have lots of stuff I wanna post later. Thanks for saying hi & get brave or you will never know if it grows there. :)

which of your trees grow taller, the Amling or the Desireable ? do you need two of Amling trees for polination, or two different pecans ? or are they self fruitful ? thanks

Apr 16th, 2015 at 12:00:00 AM PDT by

People say that you need 2 of them to cross pollinate but I'm not sure cuz at my mothers house we have one in front yard & 2 in back... All different kinds but they all give lots of pecans every year. I myself have only 1 tree & it too gives lots of fruit! So I'm not sure. These are all matured & about 60 years old in both yards. They are all around 40 feet tall & beautiful spread about 40 feet (gr8 shade). I'm sorry that I do not know the answer to all your questions but maybe you can google if they grow in your area & if the need two or not to give fruit. I do no that they gave fruit between 5-7 years & my mother always put fruiting steaks on baby's as they grew... Hope that helps you. Thanks for stopping by & chatting with me & good luck if your bidding. :)

Great auction, watching and will be back!

Apr 16th, 2015 at 8:32:25 PM PDT by

Oh thank you so much! I love that nice hat... We need 2 get together & go boot scooting! Lol I had to go check my hats back in my closet cuz I haven't been dancing in years.

Apr 17th, 2015 at 6:20:10 AM PDT by

Hey thanks! Let's go, lol.

Apr 17th, 2015 at 10:37:55 AM PDT by

I'm ready! Lol

Apr 17th, 2015 at 10:45:45 AM PDT by

Is there a way to bid on two just in case they do need to cross pollinate?

Apr 19th, 2015 at 7:44:14 PM PDT by

What a great idea! I guess I've just taken it for granted that everyone owns a pecan tree in Bastrop. Lol that I have never thought about if you need another or not.

will it do ok in wisconsin through the winter once planted outside

Apr 21st, 2015 at 8:38:04 AM PDT by

I don't know about your area. I can only speak for my experience & Texas. I've never been out of Texas. Lol check on Internet first about your area. I have planted & done very good with things people just swear they will not do good in Texas. When I have garage sales people are memorized by so much in my yard & where it's planted. I love all of God fruits & plant everything.

Apr 21st, 2015 at 9:33:51 AM PDT by

Can you just do two or more seedlings per auction?

Apr 22nd, 2015 at 4:23:41 PM PDT by

This is my first time doing fruit trees... So I'm kinda feeling it out slowly. I gotta see how much it's goin to cost for supplies & postage on this first auction then I will decide if I'll do more or not. Well see after the auction.
