do y'all not remember.we didn't have any rain for quite some time this spring and summer,but i have a neighbor that has his watering tank for his horses under the tree and it did real good

I've got 11 mature pecan trees and several smaller trees. They did not produce enough to even bother with. Last year was a great
year. We are still using them from last year and gave several pounds away to friends.

In the city, I had a neighbor that was determined to get at least one pecan off the tree in his yard.
He declared war on the squirrels. On a cold morning, you could see over 20 of them running around at once.
For the next year, he trapped and relocated over 200 before he got a handful of pecans.

I have 3 Pecan trees on my property and for the last couple of years we got tons of pecans, some my wife still has in some 5 gallon buckets. For some reason this year we have gotten almost none.

I have a buddy who had a water leak that ran most of a year without him noticing it. Auto paid the bill I guess and didn't keep an eye on it.
He got 5 times as many pounds of pecans off those 2 trees that year as his best ever year before that. I don't remember the number, but it was crazy number of lbs.
Pecans take a lot of water. He never really waters them extra on purpose and they always produce way better in wet years than dry.

Those squirrels fry up pretty tasty.. Just say'in..

I got a few natives. I have around 20 trees in my yard.

I do not remember if it was a late cold front or what, but none of the trees around us had any pecans. Even the native pecan trees have no pecans.

That is basically the way they water in commercial pecan orchards. The entire orchard is sectioned off by berms which they flood a couple times a year.
