  • Two years ago I bought a home with 2 pecan trees in the back yard. Both years the trees have produced a lot of pecans but they are all rotten . What is wrong and what can I do. I believe the trees are about 12 years old. Thanks

    Fertilizer, Tree Questions

    This is a pretty common problem for pecans. I expect the problem is nutrient deficiencies. If you want reliable nut production I'd recommend following an organic fertilization program. The following program is from Texas Organic Vegetable Gardening by Howard Garrett and Malcolm Beck.

    In early February, 20 pounds any standard organic fertilizer per 1000 square feet. Lava sand at 80 pounds per square feet. Sugar at 2-5 pounds per square feet.

    In early June, 20 pounds organic fertilizer per 1000 square feet. Greensand at 80 pounds per 1000.

    In early September, 20 pounds organic fert per 1000. Sul-Po-Mag at 20 pounds per 1000.

    Try this for a year and see what results you get.
