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.

Carya 'Peruque' size, spacing, and growth rate

Carya 'Peruque' can grow 15 to 20 metres tall with a broad spreading canopy, so allow at least 10 metres of spacing between trees. The growth rate is moderate, with trees taking several years to mature but rewarding growers with consistent nut yields once established. With proper care, it becomes a long term investment that provides beauty and productivity for generations.
