Notes On Pecan Season Georgia

By Henry Harris


There is the time in the year which has been marked as the national month of pecan and during this time the farms are also platforms for people to see how it is done and learn more about it on these tracts of land that are usually passed one from one generation to the next. Pecan season Georgia is taken to be in November although dropping is observed to begin in October and can run all the way to early beginning of the next year.

The tree can grow as tall as one hundred and fifty feet tall making it difficult to do well on tiny home landscapes because they need to grow two or more tress for you to finally get the nuts. These trees are loved since they offer a cool, large lovely shade. In Georgia they are harvested early in the month of September and even through November.

The harvest usually changes depending on the location where they are grown and the type that we are dealing with. It takes around ten years for the tree to fully produce the nuts if that tree was grown from a seed. If they are being produced from small trees or cuttings it will even take six years to have the nuts.

If the nut is given proper care during planting, fertilization, watering and harvesting the outcome will be really great and bumper harvest is expected. Harvesting should always commence after he tree is mature. During the fall season there should be furnace using fireplaces, have cautions that have space heaters and even changing the batteries of the smoke alarm regularly.

During the month of august there are a lot of processes going on because the shells are hardening while at the same time the nuts are moving to a point of being gel like that and then next filling with kernel. As all these is happening on the tree then there is the trying to get which should come first because the next vegetation should be on way by the time we get to the first weeks of September.

The trouble that comes along with this is that they become susceptible to being eaten up by the birds the same thing that would happen to those that has to survive the period of winter where even squirrels can feed on them as they await maturity. This means that definitely the quantity has to go down as the period of reaping checks in.

Irrigation systems are adopted and should be run throughout the critical period. When the shell hardens the scrub that is likely to get on the nut is usually cosmetic and will require spraying when they are clean. It is also necessary to avoid any mites and aphids that can cause serious damage on the plant.

Sometimes harvesting these nuts from the trees is not easy not only when it comes to the branches that are high above but even for those that are low. Normally people will just wait for them to drop and then collect them in a day or two after they fall however, one can increase the yield by using a pole to bring them down by shaking them off.
