alt Hacker NewsI had never heard about it being called a fast-growing tree :)
I am outside the natural range, but close to a [different] river and feel that with climate change it should be fairly ok. But it appears I am wrong!

If your river often freezes over (e.g. Rock), you're not in the right place. The Mississippi River almost never does where the Pecans grow.
"The tree can only survive in areas with warm winter nights, which severely restricts its distribution.
To ensure your pecan tree grows at the expected rate (1-3 feet per year for non-bearing and 5-12 inches for existing bearing trees) and produces nuts, the two most critical parts of pecan tree care are consistent watering and fertilizing."
