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.
Enough of this idle chit-chat. This ain't no retirement home. EVERYONE! Get back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.

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.

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.

The entire orchard is sectioned off by berms which they flood a couple times a year.
