Improper management that allows too much crop to be left on the tree during “on” years. Some cultivars are more prone to excess crop load than others.
Description
Limbs may weep or break under stress of overloading. Effects of overcropping include limb breakage, reduced winter cold hardiness, reduced return bloom, and overall tree stress. Overcropping is a significant reason why alternate bearing occurs in some pecans.
