Yep, here at PSI we are in full harvesting mode of our magnificent organic pecan nut trees. Hundreds of thousands of pecans are dropping from the trees assisted by the cockatoos (problem/solution) just in time for those wonderful pecan pies for autumn and winter in front of the fire with a nice glass of home brew. Our Pecans were planted on 1977 and were the first in our valley. Growing on the river banks they are a magnificent beautiful shade tree – and I cant understand why more of these aren’t planted on our streets and urban environments.
Fetching around $35 a kilo shelled in some places, we sell our organic nuts direct to the consumer, fresh off the tree and unshelled for $15 kilo. They are a delicious, nutritious nut, many think better than walnuts. Pecans live for up to 500 years and of course we run our cows and other animals under them. The wood is highly suitable for mushroom growing being a hickory.
