Do Not Let Your Texas Deviance Thrash Pecan Trees


I saw the sign you see here, yesterday, in Hamilton Park, across the street from the area I refer to as the Beverly Hills of Wichita Falls.

I have seen many a pecan picker picking pecans off the ground, in both Lucy Park and at Sikes Lake.

I have not seen any pecan pickers picking at Hamilton Park.

I do not go to Hamilton Park too often, which is likely why I have seen no pecan pickers picking there.

Hamilton Park does not have many trees. I assume some of the few must be pecan trees.

It seems like a lot of bother to gather up pecans, from the ground, then process them by whatever means one must. Shelling the pecans, then roasting them, I presume.

The result of the effort must be worth it, judging by all the pecan pickers I have seen picking.

As for this prohibition against thrashing a pecan tree, I do not know what that means. Shaking the tree to shake loose pecans? Pecan trees are not small. It would seem to be not too easy to shake a pecan tree.

And why does the sign, at the upper right, say, TEXAS DEVIANCE?
