squirrels get the nuts. I think it is a shy bearer.

THE McCALLISTER (pecan x shell.):
Dr. Deming: Has anyone any new information about the filling or bearing
of the McCallister?
Mr. Wilkinson: It fills well but not heavily.
Mr. Reed: I have watched the McCallister for years and years and the
nuts have failed to fill. But there is a tree that has the reputation of
bearing a very considerable quantity of nuts. We went over to see the
tree and we found that it stood where the soil was very rich. I have
wanted ever since then to try some McCallisters and give them all of the
plant food that they could possibly consume. I believe that that has a
good deal to do with filling.
Dr. Deming: Heavy fertilization influences the filling of nuts.
The McCallister is mentioned in Dr. Zimmerman's
