[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1261536, member: 12607"] I'll second the recommendation on grafting - it ain't rocket science, just simple carpentry. The fruit trees are easy, easy, easy. Nut trees a bit tougher...but may be worth the effort. Those pecans, if seedlings, will take 15-20 years to come into bearing (that's been my experience)... but if you graft them over to good named varieties that are proven to produce in your area, you'll cut the time to bearing in half - and nut size/quality will be predictable...with seedlings, it's a crapshoot.
