Pecan trees typically begin producing nuts within 4–8 years after planting when grown from grafted nursery stock, although some varieties may take longer. Seed-grown pecan trees generally require more time, often 10 years or longer, before producing their first harvest.

Pecans typically mature and are ready to harvest during the fall, usually between September and November, depending on the variety and growing region. For reliable nut production, plant compatible Type 1 and Type 2 pecan varieties to encourage cross-pollination.
