    Pecans are allelopathic (though not as much as black walnuts) and this can affect tomato plants if they grow nearby or are mulched with pecan leaves.

    Typically, pecans do not drip sap. If you have a pecan tree that is dripping sap, this is a sign of a pest infestation. There are a few pests it can be, like aphid or scale. They all can be treated with a basic pesticide. I personally like to use neem oil as it is organic, systemic (so you don't need to coat the whole tree) and food safe.

    Generally, January and February are the recommended months to plant pecan trees in Georgia because it increases the tree’s chance for survival. It is far too hot for planting in July.

    Thuricide can be sprayed on any plant, vegetable or fruit without posing a hazard. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is another option. Since this is a selective insecticide, it kills webworms while remaining safe to humans.
