pecan groves
Southern nut orchards
Pecan groves are orchards of pecan trees, cultivated for their edible nuts.
The term evokes the American South, where pecans grow commercially across Texas, Georgia, and neighboring states.
Groves suggests established trees in pastoral settings rather than industrial agriculture: The old pecan groves lined the river bottom.
Wild pecan groves also occur naturally along waterways.
