MY DAMN PECAN TREES!
Posted on 9/29/19 at 4:45 am
Posted on 9/29/19 at 4:45 am
I have 20 pecan trees on three acres for my back yard. Half of them are 40 years old and the other half are 20 years old. Half of them make every year but the pecans are bad with a fungus in them. Is it worth having them fertilized and whats the max I can make of of them? Only four of are Elliots and the rest paper shell.

A good bit of information in this article Fertilizing Pecan Trees . Contact Justin Dufour in the LSU AgCenter’s extension office in Avoyelles Parish for additional assistance. LINK

BTW, the LSU AgCenter Soil Testing and Plant Analysis Laboratory (STPAL) can conduct soil test analysis and nutrient analysis on pecan tree leaves as mentioned in that Miss State article for a very low price. $10 per soil sample test and I think the tree leave nutrient analysis test is comparably priced.

Had that done years ago when I planted 300 Elliot's. 
They are loaded this year. 
Even the ones in my yard been dropping a shite load.

Better off turning those money pits into firewood.

Fish, on how many acres do you have 300 pecan trees?
I’ve got a friend who owns part of young producing pecan orchard adjacent to the Atchafalaya River and their problem is several + black bears that tear up the trees to get to nuts and there is nothing they can really do about it b/c the bears are protected.

Got those planted on a 60ac plat. Have more trees. Going to be a big pay day this year.
Got a family member to take care and he will pick on half. He did all clean up and clipped everything.

Yes. Did it the last two years. But like I said, the pecans have a fungus in the. Crack them open and half is good and half is rotten looking! So, getting a good price is hard.

Cant remember if this had help to that specific thing, but this video may be helpful.

Pecan trees demand spraying 3-4 times per year for a sufficient crop to make money. And yes, the spraying does cost money
