The Nursery

 

First tree from nursery

    

 

 

 

Boasting the title of the world’s oldest container-grown pecan nursery, the Williams nursery was actually born out of a need to expand Bob Williams’ own pecan orchard. After years of suffering high mortality rates using bare-root nursery stock, Mr. Williams finally decided he had to come up with a better idea if he was ever to succeed with his orchard-expansion plan. So in 1968 he began experimenting with a nursery concept that no one had ever ventured into.

     For the next twelve years he and son, Paul, struggled against seemingly insurmountable odds before finally developing a method of growing pecan nursery stock in containers. Today the Williams nursery is a shining example of what ingenuity and hard work can accomplish.

     Since the 1970’s orchards from South Carolina to Texas are populated with trees from the Williams Nursery. Likewise, successful container-grown pecan nurseries all over the country got their start after seeking Mr. Williams’ guidance on the method he perfected. If you’re interested in how to raise pecan nursery stock in containers Raising Top Quality Pecans has an entire chapter dedicated to his method.
