My parents tried for years to get a pecan tree to grow in one spot in their yard. They planted many pecans for a few years, and got nothing. They bought a tree that was 6 feet tall, and it died. Then one year they noticed a pecan tree growing from a pecan a squirrel had buried about 18 inches from where they wanted it. Close enough!

It is a full tree now producing pecans. Dad's theory was that it had to have squirrel spit on it to grow.
