Pecan Growers To-Do-List for August

Watch for insect infestation and apply pesticide if needed. Hot, dry weather conditions should keep insects under control, however warm summer showers could encourage pests. Pesticides can be combined with zinc applications. Do not apply pesticides unless needed.
Maintain control of the orchard floor. Do not allow weeds to rob your orchard of needed moisture. Uncontrolled vegetation also provides a natural habitat for insects.
Water your trees! As the summer temperatures rise, increase irrigation. Mature pecan trees will need a minimum of 150 gallons per tree per day during 100+ degree days. A lack of sufficient water will result in stress which in turn could cause your pecan trees to drop their crop.

Southern Star Pecans has built it's business by selling pecans directly to consumers. As each year passes, our customer base grows. We are rapidly reaching a point where our orchard will not produce a sufficient quantity of pecans to fulfill our customers' requests. In addition to our mushrooming retail sales, we are contacted periodically by food service establishments, bakeries, and other retailers who wish to purchase large quantities of pecans on a regular basis. We simply cannot meet these businesses' needs. If you produce pecans and are interested in a wholesale opportunity, or if your orchard is located in the South Plains region of Texas and would be interested in selling your pecans to us, contact us or register for our mailing list, Pecan Growers' Alert. for sales updates
