SIXTEEN big pecan nuts on a single small lower branch of one tree in our big, bearing orchard on our Calhoun County Orchard Plantation. This picture, in natural colors, from a photograph taken in late September, 1919, gives an idea of the prodigious number of nuts that a single large, bearing tree will yield.
Paper Shell Pecans
The first quarter of the east front of our bearing pecan orchard.As far as the eye can see, stretch row after row of fine, bigpecan trees (compare with man for size); many of which have borneover two hundred pounds in a single season.
What better evidence could you wish of the adaptability of soiland climate to pecan growing?
