It’s time to try out something new.
Lately I was breaking a #drumstick a week made out of #hickory
It was Nova, Vic Firth had the problem that the tip was always chipped after 1-2 hours.
Now I’ll try out some #oak made by #Tama -

How pecans went from ignored trees to a holiday staple — an expert explains the 8,000-year history

This article originally appeared on The Conversation.
Pecans have a storied history in the United States. Today, American trees produce hundreds of million of pounds of pecans – 80% of the world’s pecan crop. Most of that crop stays here. Pecans are used to produce pecan milk, butter and oil, but many of the nuts end up in pecan pies.
Throughout history, pecans have been overlooked, poached, cultivated and improved. As they have spread throughout the United States, they have been eaten raw and in recipes. Pecans have grown more popular over the decades, and you will probably encounter them in some form this holiday season.

I’m an extension specialist in Oklahoma, a state consistently ranked fifth in pecan production, behind Georgia, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas. I’ll admit that I am not a fan of the taste of pecans, which leaves more for the squirrels, crows and enthusiastic pecan lovers.
The spread of pecans
The pecan is a nut related to the hickory. Actually, though we call them nuts, pecans are actually a type of fruit called a drupe. Drupes have pits, like the peach and cherry.

They are usually the size of your thumb, and you may need a nutcracker to open them. You can eat them raw or as part of a cooked dish.

Any forest experts on here? I'm trying to turn my backyard forest into a healthy oak-hickory food forest and while I know what I need to get rid of (buckthorn, honeysuckle, creeping bellflower) I don't really know what the understory is *supposed* to look like.
Where should the shrubs/small trees be in relation to the big ones? What should go at the edges vs in the middle? Most of the info I've found by googling is geared toward managing a forest for logging which is obvs not helpful.
Thanks in advance!

“The best time to plant a tree was years ago. The next best time is now.”
We only have 1/3 of an acre right now, but will be starting our nut trees in containers this summer in anticipation of our next move.
We’re getting a late start, but super excited.
