If your pecan tree looks lifeless while others are sprouting leaves, don’t worry—it’s likely not dead. Pecan trees are some of the last to emerge from dormancy, often waiting until late spring to show signs of life. Their slow wake-up can make them seem dead when they’re actually just taking their time. Be patient and check for signs of life by scratching the bark—if it’s green underneath, your tree is still alive. Give it a few more weeks, and you’ll likely see leaves.
