I’ve got 9 trees on our lot, my neighbor has 7 or 8, the church across the street has given permission to harvest their 4 trees, and the city has an old house next to the church with 5 trees. All within 100 yards of my front door. Right now I have 60 lbs collected just from my yard - and I had to leave 3 of mine because I haven’t cut the grass under them LOL This is the first year I’ve ever cared about them - but your spouse getting cancer changes lots of things 😇 You start to see each day as a blessing, and pecans becomes a gift from God. If nothing else, they’re free food - and at the prices people are willing to pay these days, well, I don’t profess to know how God works…. But maybe found money is part of his plan, too.

Thank you. I collected lots of p'cons from a native pecan tree just growing alone on a local street. They are a goodly size, about first digit of adult make thumb size. Letting them air dry for about a week allows the kernel to shrink enough to be loose. They are tasty too. The shells are easy to crack with minimal damage to the kernel. I use a 10 in groove joint tool. It allows for good control and the long handles provide good leverage. I will attemp to germinate about 25 or more of them. But my research about the process is just beginning. 😊

Also if you can get some trees of your own started you can graft a more desirable variety onto yours!

great tip to use the TX pecan sheller once promos ended after about 5 minutes plus- thank you, because I have poked my fingers to pieces using a sheller and picker to dig out the meat.

Back in the 80s my parents moved to Missouri and somewhere they found a nutsheller that was powered by a rubber band. It shattered the shell and the meat came out whole without being broken. It worked on lots of different types of nuts. They no longer have it, I don't know why, but I've been looking for one like that for the last 30 years. You could shell nuts in about 10 seconds. You would putt a nut in the chamber and close the cover, then pull the hammer back and let it fly. And then open the cover, take out the meat, and the shell fragments would fall into the bottom chamber. The cover was like a piece of pipe that slid back and forth on a track. The rubber band powered Hammer was a piece of wood on the track. The hammer would fly forward and hit a metal anvil or spacer with a cone shape hitting the nut and shattering it.

Thank you

Great

I love pecans and I live in pecan heaven down here on the Alabama gulf coast on semmes/mobile area and almost every single store and corner has pecan trees a bunch of churches are filled with pecan trees, they taste like sweet butter and a good amount of oil they are so good down here they are so oily and have an amazing butter taste. And all the parks here have atleast a tree or 5 and one park has 65 trees, I got a roller thing that is like a oval round shaped basket on a stick and you roll it and it picks up pecans and any other type of tree but you gotta pick off the ground but it's so easy you just roll it till it full spread the wires apart to empty then keep rolling you can get a few buckets in about 15 minutes with this tool and it will save your back

Do you wash or rinse the nut meat before final storage / processing? Ive found the dust to be bitter and I am wondering how to get that off of them.

Howdy neighbor!

We caught neighbors picking up pecans on the street our tree hangs over the fence. We allowed it, but gave me the sense to get my booty out there and get my pecans inside the fence. But they are SO HARD. To shell. Lol I shelled pecans for 2 hours got like 2c of nuts. Lol. And some wasn't even salvageable bc I used pliers. 😂 Even extra gentle... It's still tooo much pressure. I realized in those two hours how sensitive pecans are the shell is a little bit tough but if you don't crack the shell just enough there's no way you're getting that pecan out so you have to crush the shell just a little bit more but then you chance breaking your nut. Pro tip to anyone out there reading this don't use pliers.

I wouldn't even ask to pick up fruit or nuts that fall into the street. If someone gets mad about that, my respect level for that person automatically goes to zero with no way to earn my respect back. It's permanent. From that moment onwards, we are major enemies for life. If your family member dies, you get no condolences from me. If a tornado hits your property, you get no help from me. If I see you have a severe accident, heart attack, etc. in your back yard, and I'm the only person who sees it happen, tough luck. You'll either crawl to the phone in agony and call for help, or your corpse will be found later on after someone realizes you're missing. I don't care if your lifeless body is in full view of myself or my children. You brought this on yourself for choosing selfishness. Yes it's like that. Once you've ruined your relationship with me, that's it. You'll get no sympathy.

To much talking
