Pecan season is upon me, and it's time to start climbing trees and picking pecans, or just shaking them all out. Where I live currently, there are pecan trees everywhere, especially in the parks around and in town. Not a lot of people actually collect the pecans though, most that do being older and unwilling to climb the trees so they just collect the already fallen ones or throw branches at anything hanging. Me, on the other hand, I'm still perfectly fine to climb so here are some pics from a medium sized pecan tree I climbed to get a look.
There's some ripe ones in the center there.
There are quite few ready pecans here and there but it still seems a bit early to go collecting with the big bag just yet. Now's the time to hit up a bunch of trees and find out which ones have what kind of pecan. Each tree is slightly different, mainly you look out for size, taste, but most importantly is the difficulty to open. Some trees give pecans that have really hard tight shells that you pretty much can't break without pulverizing the actual nut inside. These are usually tasty but a pain to open by hand so I avoid them. Pecan tip of the day.
Some green ones not ready yet:
More tree pics because being in a tree is cool, and heart healthy:
Hope you enjoyed the pics because I certainly did making them, and sure you get scratched up and your legs don't work the next day, but it's worth it cause wild pecans are deliscus, and very expensive. I've been seeing this color challenge thing and I thought, why not, I've got stuff that's cool colors around here. So here is my entrance into the color challenge scene, pecans, pecans everywhere.
Byeeeee
