Why Plant Kanza Pecan?
Mmhmm - mmhmm - mmhmm - pecan pie, a Thanksgiving Day MUST. No matter how you pronounce it (pi-kän - pi-kan - pē-kan), these tasty little nuts are glorious additions to any baked treat, cooked dish, or to eat fresh! And with the Kanza Pecan, us Northerners will be able to harvest our own! Even though pecans are most commonly grown in the south, the Kanza Pecan is cold hardy to Zone 5, which widely opens the door for planting in the north! Be sure to be patient, for it takes about 5-7 years for the Kanza to bear nuts, but once it starts - ENJOY!
How to use Kanza Pecan in the landscape?
Kanza Pecan makes a wonderful addition to large backyards, spacious lawns, home orchards, and edible landscapes where there is room for a substantial shade tree to develop. Its broad canopy makes it an excellent choice for creating a comfortable outdoor gathering space, while its attractive foliage and seasonal interest allow it to double as an ornamental specimen. Plant Kanza where it will receive full sun and have plenty of room to grow without competing with buildings, overhead lines, or neighboring trees. For the best nut production, pair it with a compatible Type I pecan variety, such as Pawnee, to improve cross-pollination. Because Kanza ripens earlier than many traditional pecan varieties, it is particularly appealing for landscapes in the cooler portions of the pecan-growing region. Whether planted as part of a small home orchard or as a magnificent standalone shade tree, Kanza offers a wonderful combination of practicality, beauty, and long-term value.

How Does Shipping Work?

Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
