re: No pecans this year?

Pecans, like other fruit and nut trees,
exhibit a characteristic called alternate bearing. This is when
trees produce an abundant crop one year and the following
year relatively few fruits/nuts. The third year yields will
be abundant once more. The fourth year will produce small
yields. This cycle continues for the life of the pecan tree..

We had pecan trees when I was younger, lots of them. I remember my Dad teaching me about them only producing every 3rd year. I think soil, climate, and nutrition play a part on the cycle. The link above is a pretty cool read about pecan trees.
