Pecans and pruning

Looking for advice on pruning pecan trees. I have a friend who wants to try growing some on her land but is not keen on letting them get too big, especially in terms of height (they get some serious amounts of wind on account of being right at the base of the dividing range and tall trees get snapped too often).

Can they be pruned to keep height down, and will this affect production? I have some recollection of the commercial orchards in southern Arizona doing some pruning and thinning on their trees, but they let them grow pretty big. I think her target height would be 4-5 m and the trees would be a variety like Lucas, Colby, Hirschi or Peruque.

I looked into this a while back and this was all I could find, but it's a thorough explanation of how it was done:

At the end of the 2nd video he mentions all the videos at Dave Wilson Nursery and put up a link to them. I heartily agree, they've been around forever, their nursery stock is awesome (wholesale only) and their advice is excellent. Trees I've bought from their resellers way outstripped similar varieties from other good nurseries. somewhere on the Dave Wilson site they have a list of who resells their trees retail.

I have a pecan shaking business in New Mexico.  Most of my customers that have pruned their trees because of height concerns have ended up with...dead trees. They don't want to be short, so it requires constant pruning. All of those cuts are an entry point for pathogens. If they don't end up with a shortened life span, is it likely that someone will keep up this pruning regime for the next 300 to 500 years?

I think your friend would have better luck planting a wind break to lift the wind over her pecans.
