Discover the resilient and versatile Wild Pecan, also known as Carya illinoinensis, native to south-central North America, from Coahuila in Mexico to New Mexico in the US. This species of hickory flourishes best in areas with hot summer temperatures ranging from 75 – 86°F and high humidity. Known as the fastest growing amongst the hickories, this tall straight-trunked tree thrives best in deep, rich soil and is hardy to temperatures as low as 10°F. These pecan trees yield smaller, harder-shelled nuts that have a satisfyingly rich and buttery flavor. The nuts can be used in cooking, from sweet desserts to savory gourmet dishes. Besides its edibles, Pecan wood is a useful material for furniture making and hardwood flooring. The Wild Pecan also significantly contributes to the ecosystem, offering habitats for wildlife, absorbing CO2 and reducing environmental pollution. These trees can be propagated by bare root, container or cuttings. Revel in the enchanting melody of rustling leaves and enjoy the fall's spectacle as the Wild Pecan sheds its thick foliage. Experience the taste of Wild Pecan, as edible as it is memorable.
