Jim 
   In regards to the buts not filling 
   In the last 25 or so year I have seen seasonal weather conditions to be
mainly responsible for this even like to much rain and not enough heat units
during ripening time

 as we had last season it was far too much rain during the growth period
which was great for the trees bad for the nuts and then it turned off dry
with no rain after July and the nuts never filled so no goody in side this
well-formed nuts. 

Wala it has been the case several year in the past 10 year and the worst
case is when it rains during pollen shed and no nuts are formed Nuts trees
are wind pollinated and the rain washes the pollen out of the air

I have encountered both kinds of trees that produced hollow nuts.  Are both 
kinds typically self sterile?
