Pecan cultivars ripening by Oct 16

Lakota, 16 Oct. 2017

   Today, I took another tour of the grove to look for ripe pecans and enjoy the crisp Fall air and beautiful sunshine. I found five more pecan cultivars with split shucks (at right and below). This year, Giles and Lakota appear to be ripening a little later than normal while Caddo and Maramec have split earlier than normal. Caddo definately appears to have a scab problem even after 3 fungicide applications. Lakota is scab resisitant. The good news is that our spray program gave acceptible scab control on Giles, Maramec, and Mohawk.
