pecan trees
Southern nut producers
Pecan trees are large deciduous trees native to North America, cultivated primarily for their edible nuts.
They can live for centuries and grow over 100 feet tall, thriving in the southern United States where they're both wild and commercially farmed.
The pecan trees in her grandmother's yard provided enough nuts for pies all winter.
