Pecan Nuts Poor Quality Two Years Running: Soil Test and Water

The Issue

Volunteer pecans produced well, then 2 years of cardboard‑like or moist, tasteless kernels.

Causes & Fixes

Pecans naturally cycle (on/off years).
Soil test via county Extension (free) for nutrients/pH.
Ensure deep watering in summer.
Good nutrition + water = better fill.
