Is there such a thing as a dwarf Pecan Tree?

There is a genetic dwarf variety called Cheyenne that I researched because I was in your position of not wanting a huge tree.

Two problems:

  1. You’ll still need another variety to pollinate it, and that variety won’t be a genetic dwarf. (Though I suppose you could graft a pollinator to an existing tree? Theoretically? But I’ve heard grafting pecans is a pain in the butt.)

  2. It is disease prone enough that it is not recommended for planting in the SE. (Where I live.)
