Who will love your Pecan Tree more—you or the birds? It’s hard to say! Pecans are a gourmet treat for humans and for birds as well. Packed with protein, fat, and minerals, they are especially valuable to migrating birds, who need to take in lots of quality, high-energy food in preparation for their long journeys. Of course, winter-resident birds like chickadees, cardinals, wrens, nuthatches, jays, and woodpeckers also savor the sweet nuts. Pecans generally take about ten years to start producing crops, but in the meantime, your tree will still feed the birds! Songbirds dine on the many insects that feed on Pecan leaves.– In the spring, greenish-yellow catkins appear and nestle among long foliage – Spring and summer provides large fan-like leaves that give lovely shade for you and your garden – In the fall, loads of sweet Pecans will be gifted for you – Will reduce your cooling bill and boosting your home value
