Our Products
Pecan Grove is one of the largest growers of high quality ‘Pawnee’, ‘Wichita’ and ‘Western’ in-shell varieties in the US. Our orchards span thousands of acres across the State of Texas, and as a result of our hard work, dedication, stewardship and care, all with a view toward sustainability and the impact on our environment, the quality is evident in every box. Our high-quality pecan kernels are offered in a wide range of sizes and grades to suit even the most discerning customer. We even offer custom sizes for those unique applications.
The creation of our new Ingredients Division, fresh new boxes, a new logo, multi-language brochures, sizing charts, etc., are just the beginning as we expand our offerings and services, both domestically and internationally. With such unique innovations as our Trace the Case® platform (scanning the QR code on any of our cases allows the user to quickly trace the origin of the pecans within each case), Pecan Grove hopes to make our pecans your first sourcing choice.

We supply the pecan industry with the highest quality tree stock available; all from commercially viable and certified pure varieties. PGF maintains compliance agreements with most states to ensure our trees transition seamlessly to our client’s operations.
Our small-sized containers, soilless media, and growing practices allow for regular and fall planting, promoting a quicker establishment of the crop. We grow 92,000 pots a year; which are individually watered and fertilized to the needs of the tree.
PGF’s unique technology produces the best container trees for our clients.
1. All trees are true to variety and certified pest and disease-free
We are certified by the USDA, TDA, and the NMDA. We grow our pecan trees in a soilless media which helps prevent disease and insect pressure in the orchard (nematode, Japanese beetle, pecan weevil, and fire ant-free).
2. PGF promises a strong tree
PGF hand-grades several times a year, ensuring only the strongest trees are produced. Each container-grown tree having 100% of its root system vs. roughly 10-15% of a root system from a bare-root tree.
3. Strong probability to produce pecans at least a year ahead of bare-root trees
PGF hand-grades several times a year, ensuring only the strongest trees are produced. Each container-grown tree having 100% of its root system vs. roughly 10-15% of a root system from a bare-root tree.
4. It is cheaper and faster to plant a PGF container tree vs. other container trees in the market
It is easier to handle and unload a 2.5 gal container tree vs. a typical 6 gal. It is also more efficient for transportation (2,500 per load vs. 1,000). You’ll have a smaller hole to dig at planting and our soilless media is significantly lighter than soil.
5. Flexibility to plant trees early summer and early fall
PGF trees allow flexibility for the farmer to adapt to weather delays at planting and to manage costs.
6. Significant savings for the grower due to high survivability of PGF container trees
Savings on the cost of buying and planting the original tree. Savings on fertilizing and irrigating a dead tree. Savings on the cost of buying and planting a new tree. Loss of income due to a year delay of pecan production for those trees that died.
