ORIGINAL: Dennis Hopefully there is a horticulturist here that can help me.... My Peacan tree is losing his nuts[sm=smiley19.gif]..He's about 12 years old and looks healthy and flurishing. I started him from a single Peacan nut...He has matured from adolescents into manhood about 3 years ago and has been producing a bountiful amount of nuts each year since..This year during the long HOT dry spell, I kept his roots irrigated with a deep root watering probe, fertilized and ironated and applied some Malathion to keep the tent worms at bay as the usual treatment every year, he show no signs of heat stress whats so ever...But all of a sudden since the hot weather ebbed and things are cooling off and the rains have returned some, he started to lose a lot of his nuts..not all, but a least half of them have fallen...Any ideas as to what is going on?[sm=dontgetit.gif] Are you sure some neighborhood kids didn't grab a hold of your trunk and give it a good shake? Nuts just don't drop unless they have some help...
