Interesting Facts
The pecan tree was named the state tree of Texas in 1919. Interestingly, pecan pie is also the state pie of Texas. Nuts are sweet and delicious. Native varieties are best for shade. Should be planted in a place where it has plenty of room to grow, since it is a very large tree once it reaches maturity. Pecan trees can live more than 1000 years.
