Hurricane damage prevention begins at planting

摘要

Planting a pecan tree can take less than 5 minutes, but those are 5 very important minutes in the life of what should become a tall, majestic and long-lived tree. Pecan trees across the southeast from Texas to North Carolina may be buffeted by hurricane or tropical storm force winds more than once in their life, and those that remain standing after facing such winds are often those that had the benefit of good planting technique.
