How long until they bud out? I have about five 50+ year old trees on my property and they still haven't budded out yet. Are they done? If so, what would cause them to die after they've been amazing trees ever since I've been alive?

A giant native died I guess over winter after last year drought. Its roots must be with two leach fields across street from our house. Probably 3-3 1/2' diameter trunk. I even payed guy to spray it for worms and to foliar fertilize when he sprayed mine.
Bud break on healthy Texas pecan tre should be complete by Tax Day April 15.
Scratch bark on a pencil diameter limb. If green tree is alive.
My commercial pecans on deep alluvial Colorado River silt loam soil came through drought and freeze stress okay with some limb dieback.
However have half a dozen mature trees on a heavier clay loam that died. These are trees 24" to 30" diameter.

It's definitely a goner. Lots of pecans died in central Texas this year. I almost even lost my feature tree in my yard and it feeds around my lateral line.
Too much cold stress and then historic drought the last few years.

Yep…they are late, but shouldn't be this late. Better have an arborist look at it. If water tables have dropped dramatically due to drought, even pecan trees can succumb.

Where are your commercial trees on the Colorado? I grew up in and around the pecan industry. Mainly the Brownwood/San Saba area.Animal Eight 84 said:

What county are you in?
We've got quite a few of big mature trees that are dead in Erath county.
What to do with those that do have some inconsistent leaf out on branches near the trunk but still 80% or so looks dead?
Is there much value in pecan wood? Either as firewood/bbq wood, or taking some trunks to a sawmill?

Sorry for your loss.
