Huh. I’m in NC, It’s September, and my pecan tree is raining pecans. Some green, some brown, all are in the husks. I’ve been picking them up. Not sure what I’m doing. But I figured I’d try.

My squirrels keep knocking mine off the tree. It's end of July. By the time it's sep I'll have none left. If they fall on the ground can I let them dry at home?

[makaylaforbes]

How long doea it take for new pecan trees to produce?

[lisasingleton]

Great information! Now if I can just harvest mine before the squirrel family does!

[ritabosico]

I got a bucket of pecans given to me that were picked last fall. I'm shelling them and they look pretty good. But she said they're rancid. Is there something to look for that shows they're no good?

After the event - what is that "nut picker-upper" ? Link ? What is that pole (didn't catch the name) ? Is anyone home ?

Had no choice because we had to cut branches away from our roof. So all the branches had green ones. I picked them off. Am I at a loss

[elainephleps]

Thank you for the info i wrestled about 10lbs away from the squirls this year.so was wondering how too store them in the shell.there so expensive .

[katrinalynn]

i have a giant pecan tree and never knew how to harvest them

[xymoriintus]

Would you know how to treat a pecan tree? My pecans never turn out fully formed they are either always green and never fully mature. The tree is very old and tall as well, if that helps with a diagnosis

So once dried or frozen, we can eat them right out of the shell? No need to toast them? It's safe? (Clueless on nuts here.)
