In stress, or has had bugs/caterpillars boring into them. Squirrels overpopulated, what do you guys fertilize your pecans with? Now is a good time, as well as a good soak to happen. Some years can be great, but next years pecans are on the tree now. I always used an 11% nitrogen on them where I had them, could get 100# from a 40 yr old tree. Also used a can of Red Devil lye buried at tips of branches. You cant get it now, and it was simply something the pecans liked.
