Last week the
Neosho River flooded our pecan grove. As soon a the flood receded, we received a day-long rain storm. Water and mud was everywhere. Today was the first day I could get out into the field to check on nut development. Since its been two weeks since I last checked for cultivars with shuck split, I found many pecan cultivars had ripened since early October. Photos of those cultivars ripening in mid-October are at right and below.
Note that Giles, Chetopa, Maramec, Caddo, and Dooley have scab lesions on their shucks. Scab has reduced nut size and prevented normal shuck-split of Dooley especially. Greenriver, Lakota, Oswego, and Oconee are scab free.
