Last Saturday, March 14, these peach trees were in full bloom. Such a beautiful sight !! There was one variety that was just past full bloom and another variety not yet at full bloom. The below freezing temperatures this evening will have varying effects on each variety. Spring weather in the South.

Here is a pre-teen / middle school pecan tree that I was shaping last week. At this age during winter dormancy, it needs guidance so that it will be strong and productive. Lower downward sloping branches are removed and pruined to one central leader. I have over 500 trees of this variety to shape as individuals and now am almost halfway finished.

In anticipation of rain this week, I did a gentle shaking of my McMillan variety on Friday morning and then harvested Friday afternoon and Saturday. The new pecan harvester is an amazing machine !! But there is still a lot of time and expense involved in drying, removing harvest trash , cracking, shelling, sorting, cleaning out hulls, and weighing/packaging. There seems to be a shorter crop this year so I expect prices to be higher than last year. I hope to have pecans ready for retail before mid November.

The nut clusters on this McMillan variety pecan tree are remarkable. I can't wait until shuck split and the harvest of a new crop. This variety matures later than most so I intend to source earlier pecans in time for holiday use. Expect to find new crop pecans at the Marigold Mkt in Winterville toward the end of October. Or don't hesitate to contact me, Farmer Frank, at 706 202 0533 for updated information and sales.
