Forest Facts

Found throughout Anderson-Tully Company’s holdings in the Mississippi River bottomlands, Pecan is the largest species in the Hickory family. It is generally found on moist but well-drained ridges in the bottomlands as a scattered tree in company with sycamore, sweetgum, red oak, and elm. Forty percent of the nation’s Pecan grows in the rich alluvial soils of the lower Mississippi Valley.

Being a relatively shade-tolerant species, Pecan is regenerating well throughout Anderson-Tully Company bottomlands. The species is particularly important to wildlife in that its fruit carries many mast eaters through the winter months.
