Large, North American trees known as pecans (Carya illinoinensis) shed their leaves in the fall. They are members of the same family as walnuts and hickories-Juglandaceae. The nuts of the pecan tree, which are both tasty and nutritious, are the tree's primary source of economic value. Pecan trees are briefly described below. - Appearance-wise, pecan trees are remarkable for their height, which can range from 21 to 30 meters or 70 to 100 feet. The width of its canopy is between 40 and 70 feet (12 and 21 meters). The bark turns a silvery brown over time and cracks deeply. The lance-shaped leaflets that make up a pecan leaf's compound structure normally number between nine and seventeen. - Originating in the center and southern United States, particularly the Mississippi River Valley, pecan trees are now widely planted across the country. Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Georgia, and Mississippi are just few of the states where you might see them. Pecan trees have been grown in several regions of the world that have a climate that is conducive to their development. - The production of nuts is the primary economic incentive for growing pecan trees. Pecans are incredibly healthy and delicious, with a buttery flavor that stands out. A firm, smooth shell protects the nut's delicious center. Optimal nut quality and yield can be maintained by grafting or budding pecan trees with specific varieties. Nut production normally begins between the seventh and tenth year, with a peak between the twenty-third and thirty-first year. - Pecans can be found in a wide variety of cultivars, each with its own distinct size, shape, flavor, and shell thickness. Stuart, Desirable, Pawnee, Elliott, and Choctaw are just a few of the widely-grown varieties. It's vital to select cultivars well-suited to your climate, as they may have various needs in terms of chill hours (the number of hours below a given temperature) and heat tolerance. - Pecan trees thrive in rich, well-drained soil that receives full sunlight. They are commonly planted in large gardens for either their fruit or their shade. In order to maximize nut yield, pecan trees should be watered regularly, especially during dry spells. Pruning is essential for a number of structural reasons, including the removal of dead wood and the promotion of air flow. Pest control techniques are essential for protecting pecan trees from pests and diseases such pecan scab, aphids, weevils, and pecan phylloxera. - The economic worth of pecan nuts is great because of its popularity and demand. The United States is the world's greatest producer of pecans, with the states of Texas and Georgia being the most productive. Pecans have a broad variety of uses in the kitchen, from baking to garnishing to savory snacking. In addition to these benefits, trees also improve landscapes and increase ecological variety. The nuts from pecan trees are delicious, but that's not the only reason people value them. If you're a farmer, a home gardener, or just someone who appreciates the natural beauty of trees, you might want to consider planting some pecan trees.

Written in a manner suitable for a popular audience and including color photographs and recipes for some common uses of the nut, Pecan: America’s Native Nut Tree gathers scientific, historical, and anecdotal information to present a comprehensive view of the largely unknown story of the pecan. From the first written record of it made by the Spaniard Cabeza de Vaca in 1528 to its nineteenth-century domestication and its current development into a multimillion dollar crop, the pecan tree has been broadly appreciated for its nutritious nuts and its beautiful wood. In Pecan: America’s Native Nut Tree, Lenny Wells explores the rich and fascinating story of one of North America’s few native crops, long an iconic staple of southern foods and landscapes. Fueled largely by a booming international interest in the pecan, new discoveries about the remarkable health benefits of the nut, and a renewed enthusiasm for the crop in the United States, the pecan is currently experiencing a renaissance with the revitalization of America’s pecan industry. The crop’s transformation into a vital component of the US agricultural economy has taken many surprising and serendipitous twists along the way. Following the ravages of cotton farming, the pecan tree and its orchard ecosystem helped to heal the rural southern landscape. Today, pecan production offers a unique form of agriculture that can enhance biodiversity and protect the soil in a sustainable and productive manner. Among the many colorful anecdotes that make the book fascinating reading are the story of André Pénicaut’s introduction of the pecan to Europe, the development of a Latin name based on historical descriptions of the same plant over time, the use of explosives in planting orchard trees, the accidental discovery of zinc as an important micronutrient, and the birth of “kudzu clubs” in the 1940s promoting the weed as a cover crop in pecan orchards. **Published in cooperation with the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, Ellis Brothers Pecan, Inc., and The Mason Pecans Group**
