Pecan Tree

Pecan Tree 

The pecan tree is widely grown in North America. It is the Texas state tree. There are more than 500 different types of them, so the height of the tree can vary from 70 to 150 ft. high when it is mature, which can take up to 10 years, and will begin producing nuts when it reaches 10 to 20 years of age and has a life span up to or can exceed 1000 years.

 The tree needs a more extended, warmer climate to grow, so it is trendy in the southern states like Texas, Florida, and Arizona and countries Like Mexico. Also, the tree requires 5 gallons of water every week until fully grown.

 The fruit of the tree, which is the nut, is so delicious and rich in protein and omega 6-fatty acid. It is widely used in cooking, especially desserts like the famous Pecan pie, cinnamon swirl pecan pie, and much more. However, you may put discretion upon serving food with pecan since various people are highly allergic to nuts.
