Pecan Trees Not Bearing: Fertilize, Water, Soil Test

Key Factors

• Cultivar maturity age varies.
• Zinc and nitrogen often limiting.
• Deep watering critical for nut fill.

Action Plan

1. Soil test via county extension.
2. Fertilize per test (often zinc sulfate + nitrogen).
3. Deep water 1 inch/week during nut development (July–Sept).
4. Accept alternate-bearing nature.
