Some commercial nurserymen just soak the intact
nuts in water for 5 days. One says he does not change the water but I would
recommend it.

FWIW, I was told by a botanist one time that all that was
necessary was to take a sharp knife and very gently pop the seam between the
shell halves, just enough so that the kernel can take up water. I've done that
with pecans and walnuts and it has worked every time, as long as the kernel
was sound.

the fall and dried.

Dear Nut Fanciers,
My lady just returned from N. Carolina
with a gift-bag of pecans recently
picked up from beneath a tree. I have
no information on how long they lay.
Any likelihood that these can be
sprouted and grown, or would they have to
have been - I think the word is
striated? If anyone thinks they might be
viable, any growing tips? I am
on Long Island, Zone 6-7, so I thought we
might be at the very northern
range where some might occasionally fruit.
Thanks for any
opinions.
Sincerely, dylan
