Pecan Farm
In 1919 the 36th Texas Legislature made the Pecan tree the state tree of Texas.This also is Alabama's state tree. In southeast Texas, the Texas Pecan Festival is celebrated every year. In 1909 then Texas Governor James Stephen Hogg asked that a Pecan tree be planted at his grave instead of a traditional headstone, requesting that the nuts be distributed throughout the state to make Texas a "Land of Trees".

 Pecan Growth
The pecan tree is a large deciduous tree, growing to 20–40 m (65-130 ft) in height, rarely to 44 m (145 ft); taller trees to 50–55 m (165-180 ft) have been claimed but not verified. It typically has a spread of 12-23 m (40-75 ft) with a trunk up to 2 m (10 ft) diameter. A 10-year-old sapling will stand about 5 m (16 ft) tall. The leaves are alternate, 40–70 cm long, and pinnate with 9–17 leaflets, each leaflet 5–12 cm long and 2–6 cm broad. The flowers are wind-pollinated, and monoecious, with staminate and pistillate catkins on the same tree; the male catkins are pendulous, up to 18 cm long; the female catkins are small, with three to six flowers clustered together. The fruit is an oval to oblong nut, 2.6–6 cm long and 1.5–3 cm broad.The nut itself is dark brown with a rough husk 3–4 mm thick that starts out green and turns brown at maturity, at which time it splits off in four sections to release the thin-shelled nut. Pecans, like the fruit of all other members of the hickory genus, are not true nuts but technically a drupe (fruit with a single stone or pit). The husks are produced from the exocarp tissue of the flower while the part known as the nut develops from the endocarp.

Pecan trees are native to the United States, and writing about the Pecan tree goes back to the nation founders. Thomas Jefferson planted pecan trees, "Carya illinoinensis,' (Illinois nuts) in his nut orchard at his beautiful home, Monticello, in Virginia. George Washington reported in his journal that Thomas Jefferson gave him "Illinois nuts" pecans which grew at Mount Vernon, Virginia, George Washington's home.

One of the most common desserts with the pecan as a central ingredient is the pecan pie, a traditional southern U.S. recipe. Pecans are also a major ingredient in praline candy, most often associated with New Orleans.

Pecan Cultivation
Pecans were one of the most recently domesticated major crops. Although wild pecans were well-known among the colonial Americans as a delicacy, the commercial growing of pecans in the United States did not begin until the 1880s. Today, the U.S. produces between 80% and 95% of the world's pecans, with an annual crop of 150–200 thousand tons. The nut harvest for growers is typically around mid-October. Historically, the leading Pecan-producing state in the U.S. has been Georgia, followed by Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma; they are also grown in Arizona and Hawaii. Outside the United States, pecans are grown in Australia, Brazil, China, Israel, Mexico, Peru and South Africa. They can be grown approximately from USDA hardiness zones 5 to 9, provided summers are also hot and humid. Pecan trees may live and bear edible nuts for more than three hundred years. They are mostly self-incompatible, because most cultivars, being clones derived from wild trees, show incomplete dichogamy. Generally, two or more trees of different cultivars must be present to pollenize each other.
