How can you tell when a pecan is ripe?

Answer #1

Pecan trees have a season just like oranges,apples,tomatoes etc. If you are “picking” it off the tree ask your neighbors or the county extension agent what are the local “seasons” for pecans. If you have it in a bag, crack one open - does it taste like a pecan?

Answer #2

A ripe pecan will have a shell that is starting to open.
