About 6 weeks ago I cleaned up what green pecans the squirrels had chewed up and it was only around 10lbs. Now that the leaves have cleared enough from the trees I have no pecans at all for harvest. I am ok with it because I do not have the choir of picking them up this year. In the 14 years here I have all ways had 30 or 40lbs to harvest. About ever third year I would have 75 or 100lbs from 5 trees.
Anyone else have this luck.

Since you can't harvest pecans, it might be time to harvest squirrels, in hopes of having more pecans next year..


Enough of this idle chit-chat. This ain't no retirement home.

Ive got two pecan trees in my backyard. Squirrels have had their way for numerous years. As you said, they shred the pecans while still in the green shell. I decided to fight back this year and trapped 30 or so. I won the battle but not the war. I finally surrendered and they still got most of my pecans. I was able to scrounge and pick up a small grocery bag full.

Shooting them is not an option in my neighborhood. I wish it was. Ill get after them again next year. It keeps me and the dog entertained. LOL.

West side of General Motors. 57 yr old sud division with many pecan trees.
My trees did not produce a 1/5 what they normally do each year. I am ok with it because not have to pick them up this year is a relief to me.

I'm a little bummed. We rented this house in the hopes we would have pecans out of the huge old pecan tree in the back yard. Lots of squirrels but no nuts.

Don't walk under the live oaks though. Especially on a windy day. Those acorns HURT!
