The Desirable Pecan tree is a large, deciduous tree that can reach heights of 70 to 100 feet (21 to 30 meters) with a spread of 40 to 75 feet (12 to 23 meters). It has a spreading canopy and dark green, pinnately compound leaves that turn golden yellow in the fall.

One of the key features of the Desirable Pecan is its large and high-quality nuts. The nuts have a thin shell and a rich, buttery flavor, making them highly desirable for eating fresh or using in various culinary applications.

When it comes to growing the Desirable Pecan, it requires a long growing season and a warm climate. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods. Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring to maintain the tree's shape and promote healthy growth.
