I also remember climbing the pecan trees as a kid, I loved them. They were great for climbing, and they formed such delicious nuts. During harvest time, mom let me climb to near the tops of the trees (normally not allowed) to shake them and get the nuts down. I loved that! She even let me get on the roof to gather the nuts that had fallen there!
