Summer Hedge Pruning of Pecan in the Southeastern United States
Hedge pruning has been used in southeastern US pecan (Carya illinoinensis) orchards for ∼10 to 15 years and has become common in the region within the past 5 years. However, questions remain regarding how pecan trees in the southeastern United States will respond to hedge pruning into the hot summer months in a humid environment. Two treatments were evaluated for ‘Creek’ and ‘Caddo’ pecan: dormant hedge-pruned (Jan–Feb 2019 and 2022) and summer hedge-pruned (Jun 2019 and 2020). Summer hedge pruning did not affect pecan yield, nut weight, or percent kernel compared with dormant-season pruning. Length of shoot regrowth was reduced significantly by summer hedge pruning compared with dormant-season hedge pruning. The advantages of hedge pruning ‘Creek’ and ‘Caddo’ from the dormant season through midsummer can help transition southeastern US pecan production to a more profitable and sustainable system.
