    They can grow to 70 feet high and 70 feet across. You can control height somewhat by pruning but it wont remain houseplant size very long.

    Yes you can graft a limb from a pecan tree. And raise it as a bush inside. This takes some skill to do. I would recommend cherry for this wonderfull blooms. But the fruit or nuts will be very small from this. A good nursery could do this for you. But your tree outside will or can be trimmed back to about semi dwarf size. It takes special grafting to turn a tree into a bush size plant for inside. By the way a pecan tree is a bush not a tree at all.

    properly, at the start, pecans advance on timber no longer flowers. 2d, there's no thank you to rigidity it to stay small. They advance everywhere from 70-a hundred ft tall, so that's actual no longer everywhere close to a "bonsai".

    Do a search of Bonsai.

    Interesting hobby if you have the will to do it.
