Maintain 30 Square Feet Per Acre

A constant watch must be kept over the trees to continually upgrade the tree stand. Pecans trees produce the best crops at approximately 30 square feet of cross-sectional trunk area per acre. The larger the trees, the fewer the number of trees required to obtain this trunk area. By carefully evaluating tree stands, pecan producers select the least productive trees for removal.
