Factors in Pecan Success
 1 was in pecan nursery in Texas little over three years ago and learned something about taking up and setting out oceans. After seeing the Texas nursery method I could easily account for the many failures experienced in Alabama, in trees dy- ing, after setting out. The method as tedious and expensive but many planters demanded certain specified tions and besides it was a fixed policy of the nursery to guarantee plants to live when put out under their specifications. The method in taking up plants was to first prune tl'em. then carefully excavating around the plant to the desired depth. preserving all the side roots showing and then cutting off the tap root, leaving about IF to 15 inches of it.
