small pecan trees that look about the size fo a dogwood

OK, I understand, but don't really have an answer. I know where there are some huge commercial orchards like that, and I know they keep them pruned to keep the trees relatively small. The owner of one orchard (8,000 trees) told me he sprays 5 times a year. And I know where there's a small orchard like that that was just started 6-8 years ago, but haven't been there in over a year, so don't know whether he's getting any production from it yet or not.
