Fall Crops
pecans,
Bluebird Hill Pecans is the 187 trees we have planted of Cape Fear and Stuart pecan
trees. We have four bluebird boxes that are used each year for three clutches of five eggs each. Mom and Dad and sixty babies do a good job with insect control around here.The orchard habitait is prime area for bluebirds and they seem to like it here. This years' families have not yet gone South. (11/29/07)
We sell our pecans in the shell.Cape Fear and Stuart are "paper-thin shell" varieties
;that shell very easily. They shell out with many halves with just one crack with a hand-held cracker.The heavy soil of the Peidmont give the nuts a richer flavor. My recipe for the Pecan Association Contest at the 2007 N.C. State Fair won a blue ribbon.
As members of the N.C. Pecan Growers Association, we receive a yearly class that
provides us with the latest information, orchard practices, and marketing assistance..In spite of this year's late spring freeze and drought,we have pecans from half of our trees.
