How to grow Carya 'Peruque' in NZ

Growing Carya 'Peruque' in New Zealand is rewarding when provided with the right care. It thrives in full sun and requires fertile, free draining soil. Regular watering while young will encourage strong root development and steady growth. As with many pecans, 'Peruque' benefits from cross pollination with other compatible varieties to ensure heavy nut crops. This long lived tree is both ornamental and productive, making it a valuable addition to NZ orchards.

Carya 'Peruque' care tips

Caring for Carya 'Peruque' is straightforward and ensures good growth and harvests. Water deeply during dry periods, particularly when the tree is young. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to support vigorous foliage and nut production. Minimal pruning is required other than removing crossing or damaged branches. Mulching around the base helps conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds, keeping the tree healthy.
