Default Pecans

Ok, i admit i'm getting old and the mind is fading a bit. Could be whiskey fog?
When do the pecans start falling in south La? I thought it was sept but my source says none yet. These are the paper shell variaty.

Most pecan trees are alternate bearing, meaning a tree bears a relatively heavy crop of nuts one year and a lighter one the next.

I know some of the tree farms used to buy acorns by the lb.
contact LSU ag.
I can eat pecans and we use 10 - 15 lbs to make all the Christmas goodies every year so i'll pick them up and shell em to save $50 -$75.
