It is not possible for the South African Pecan Nut Producers Association (SAPPA) to evaluate the quality of trees and services provided by nurseries that are associated members of SAPPA. It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that the trees or service meets their requirements.

Producers should contact processors and then agree on prices, payments as well as delivery arrangements.
