November 22, 2021

2021 Washington and Waller County Pecan Show Entry Packet

The Washington County Extension Horticulture Committee is excited to host the 2021 Washington County Pecan Show.  The committee welcomes entries from landowners across the area who have an interest in learning more about their pecan trees and testing the quality of their crop.

 

Entries will be accepted through Tuesday, November 22nd at the Washington or Waller County Extension Offices.  The committee will crack and prepare the pecans for judging and results will be presented to all exhibitors on Thursday, December 1st at the Growing Pecans in South Central Texas Program.  If an exhibitor is unable to attend the program results will be available at the Washington County Extension Office on Friday, December 2, 2021.

 

Each exhibitor must submit 42 pecans (from the same tree) of any variety, including natives and all improved varieties.  Entries will be judged on weight, percent kernel, color, and freedom from insect and disease damage.  Entries are due by Monday, November 22 by 5:00pm to the County Extension Office located at 1305 East Blue Bell Road in Brenham.  Entries must be submitted in paper bags with the exhibitor’s name, address, telephone number, and the variety name of each sample indicated on the bag.  Any entries not listing the required information will not be judged.  An entry form will be available at the Extension Office to be completed with all sampled entered.  No late entries will be accepted.

 

RULES FOR COUNTY SHOW EXHIBITION

Sample entries from one orchard cannot be entered in two county shows. Pecans should be entered in the same county they are grown.
