Pecan Grove Advice From Oklahoma A and M Expert
D V Shawhart of the Oklahoma A and M College horticulture department says winter work in pecan groves focuses on selecting and marking sprouts to bud and protecting them from rabbits. He recommends about 50 sprouts per acre and thinning to 12 to 15 as they crowd. Regular crops can continue as trees mature, with care to protect trees from injury and avoid farming implement damage. He warns that pecan groves suit committed, long term farmers, not casual growers.
