I have a huge hickory tree over my house. The early, hot spring has caused an over abundance of hickory nuts. The tree is so nut laden the their weight has pulled two limbs down. One limb nearly hit one of our dogs and damaged out trellis.
Now, the squirrels are pulling and tossing the nuts to the ground so they can be buried for winter. I have never seen the number of hickory nuts. They have to be picked up before we can mow. Our patio has to be swept. You step on a nut; you have a twisted ankle.
Soon, hopefully, all the nuts will have fallen and they will have been picked up. Or, squirreled away for winter. Until then, carry an umbrella when in the yard.
