No pecans this year?

Why don't I have pecans this year? And I haven't really noticed any in trees or falling around Shreveport either.
What causes pecan trees to not produce for a year?
Normally I get at least 6-7 5-gal buckets full of pecans from my 3 trees in my backyard.
Not a single pecan this year.

I live in Houston and have 2 huge pecan trees in my backyard that are producing like crazy. I don't know what to do with them all.
And not sure if this is normal, but my two dogs love to sit in the backyard and munch on pecans all day

The tree by my house has made a ton. You can't walk under it without busting your arse.

It's pretty common for them to skip years

My father always told me that high winds when the tassels are out can ruin a crop. I have no idea.

Inlaws have a tree in their yard in Houma, they were falling like crazy last week

Another factor is the late freezes we had this spring. It affected some varieties more than others. If your trees had blooms on it during a freeze, it likely burned them.

If you live in the broadmoor area, all of those trees in that part of town are the same age. They produce every other year. This year you will just see a shite load of "self pruned" limbs. I grew up in Shreve island and we got huge crops every other year. Now im in town south and have spent my morning picking up limbs from a tree that will cost $2k to cut down :sigh:

For some reason, pecan trees are cyclical. They may produce great one year or several years, and then not good or basically nothing the next few years

Grandmother's always produced every other year.

my pear tree does the same. bumper crop one year, nothing the next

My pop's orchard doesn't produce anything unless we fertilize, probably something to do with the soil since it's clay.

We have a ton this year, some years none though....
Anyone know where I can get over a buck a pound around the BR area?
