I have no idea what nut you are buying but all pecans are grafted, it is the only or best way to preserve a cross.
Another reason for grafting is so the tree will grow in certain soil conditions but not likely to be found commercially.
One is the loblolly pecan root stock and any paean as the top graft.
This allows the pecan you want to grow in soggy soil conditions.
Most if not all us these folks chose a few root stocks that are hardy.

Next is to find out if certain trees can be shipped to you out of state.
It seems Texas has lifted the ban on pecans under strict conditions of inspection and certification.

Stark bros used to be good and for the most part I guess they still are.
I have ordered any trees so I cant recommend anyone for that.
What are you looking for?
