U225X PUBLIC SUMMARY Record: EXP-PECAN-001 / Pecan and Hickory Harvest Timing Status: Starting field record SUMMARY The field observations compare an immature pecan with a hickory that is closer to maturity. The pecan was still green, watery, and soft inside; the hickory husk remained attached. The practical rule is to watch the shuck and shell rather than trust the calendar. WORKING METHOD - Inspect one marked nut every 7–10 days. - Look for the green shuck to split naturally and release the hard shell. - Record shuck separation, shell hardness, kernel fill, and the inspection date. - Harvest once physiological maturity is visible and before wildlife removes the crop. LIMITS This is a starting observation, not a harvest guarantee. Keep the inspection route away from overhead lines and use a knife only for a small sacrificial sample.
