Hedging Time


It is time to hedge your pecan trees. We have started the process out at our orchards in Charlie, TX. In order to promote sunlight penetration throughout the orchard, we hedge our trees to keep them from crowding each other.
We all know from elementary science classed that all plants need water and sunlight in order to grow and produce their respective fruits. Pecan trees are no different. They need a lot of sunlight from the top of the tree all the way through to the bottom limbs in order to produce pecans. If trees get too crowded they will begin to "shade out" and when this happens the lower limbs will not produce pecans.
The youtube link below is our pecan hedger in action if you would like to check it out.
