Pecans are considered by many to be the best- flavored of all nuts. Plus they are high in "substance"-- providing what fruits and berries lack: oil and protein. Most of us home orchardists concentrate on fruits and berries and forget about nuts. Its a shame because nuts are expensive plus with a substantial supply of fruits and nuts a person could not go hungry even in the worst of times. And what better food stystem than tree crops which require very little work compared to field crops.

The problem with pecans in zone 5 (such as far southern WI) is not that they are winter tender, (they can survive into zone 3 such as far northern WI taking 35 below zero) but . . . they require a lot of summer heat and a long season to ripen their nuts. What EFN offers is not just any old "northern pecan"; (the term "northen" when referring to pecans means central Illinois or Ohio but not zone 5 southern WI and MI, northern Iowa, etc.) The typical "northern" pecan will just not ripen their nuts in most zone 5 seasons. The pecan selection we offer was found in various locations including "wild" pecans growing near the railroad and river routes along the Mississippi where they pass through northern Iowa. They fill their shells every season in most zone 5 locations ripening in late October/early November. The time has finally come where we can grow pecans in our area, we are very pleased to offer what I consider to be the best choice for the furthest margins that pecans can grow. Takes -35 F. Zone 5.
BTW: Pecans can do well in moister soils especially if well oxygenated (such as near river beds).
