Discover Pecan, Carya illinoinensis, a majestic and fast-growing hickory tree native to South-Central North America, spanning from Mexico to the United States. A mainstay of the culinary world, these deciduous trees thrive in regions with hot summers and rich, deep soil, reaching an impressive height of 65-130 ft, occasionally even taller. Pecan’s compound leaves and wind-pollinated flowers make it a remarkable specimen both in form and function, with its iconic nuts encased in a green husk that splits upon maturation to reveal the prized edible fruit. Known for their rich, buttery flavor, pecans are pivotal in Southern gastronomy, featuring in iconic dishes like pecan pie and praline candy. Beyond their culinary value, pecan wood is prized in furniture making, hardwood flooring, and as a flavoring fuel for smoking meats. Experience the elegant stature and versatility of the pecan, which is more than just a nut tree, but a testament to nature’s generosity and a staple in American heritage and cuisine. These seeds are collected from orchard grown variety trees that are mixed together.
