Prune mature pecan trees during the dormant period in late winter, usually only once every three years or when the branches become crowded.

The best time is in winter while dormant. Buds can be removed in spring.

The best time to prune pecan trees (Carya illoinensis) is in winter when they're dormant.

You can grow pecan trees in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 6 through 9.
