Kanza production 2013

2013 Kanza Crop
     I've been recording the yield of a 3 acre block of Kanza pecan trees over the past several years. In 2013, we had a nice crop of good sized nuts with the yield bouncing back following two years of drought. The yield of for these trees over the past four years is given below.

2012      17          810

    This winter, we will be thinning additional trees from this orchard according to our thinning plan.
