not-so-dead pecan tree
There is a 30 foot pecan tree out back in the creek area that has not
leafed out. Everyone else (American elm, cedar elm, cottonwood, etc.) out there is in full green. All the other pecans in the area have been well leafed out for weeks. I was figuring that this particular guy just up and died over the winter, and was getting ready to get out the chain saw. But I took the binoculars out there and, sure enough, there are little green buds just opening up on the ends of the branches. I've never really noticed this happening in this particular tree, which has otherwise been reasonably healthy. I know that pecans leaf out late, but is there really that much variation in when pecans put out their leaves? Is it a matter of variety, or perhaps location? |

The pecan grove where I volunteer has at least three varieties over two acres, planted in clusters, and all leaf out at different times over the course of a couple of weeks. And some years, the whole grove is really late compared to other pecan trees in the area. |

Must be the same variety and temperament as I have. One is showing some leaves, the other just now showing signs of intent to do so. -- Dave |

not-so-dead pecan tree
Is it a matter of variety, or perhaps location? Probably used to more water during the spring, and therefore late to bud since there has not been a lot? Well, it is in the creek bed, sitting on silt, maybe about 4-5 feet above the water table, so it has it's roots in a lot more water than most of the trees around. Tap root oughta be pretty wet. Now, I can't swear it hasn't done this every year. |

There are different types of Pecans, I have two large trees and one is about 3-4 weeks behind the other. Also Pecans are the last to leaf out, most are just starting too. |

Know its not pecan, but, what about fruit trees like lemon for instance? When should the leaves be forming on those? -- Dave How about a tax to support any military conflict/police action over 3 months old? An actual war, we can do what's been done in the past. |

But they are not planted in the ground in Austin. dont know about the other fruit trees. |

He lives north of canyon lake. He's got 2 lemon trees on his property by his house. -- Dave |
