I do not know if I ever saw such a tree, even when I was in Texas!

You have one tree?

Or pic of it?

Are these like orchards?

Hugs!               I think that the USA is becoming poorer and poorer... and pray that pecans can help keep or increase its stability !! Can it help??

Not in my yard, there are some in the park that I daily jog in. Just go to google internet images and I am sure you can call up an image of a pecan tree.

It is the official state tree of Texas, for what its worth.

Thanks, I do not remember exactly.

At least twice!

Or more!

Once was in the  sixties!

The 70's!

Can not remember more for now!

Since my nephew goes to Texas at times now to work there, maybe I can ask him to take me a pick of an pecan tree?

I love love to know of there are orchards of these? You know? Areas... you can name?

Hugs!! Oh, will Texas now do clone beef?? Raise these?

the trees grow throughout the state, except in the desert areas in the trans Pecos region. I will find you an internet link so that you can see a pecan tree, the nuts of the tree are much better than the appearance of the tree.

Texas at last count was the largest pecan producer in the US.

Hmm. I wonder which state produces the most nuts. ...  ;)

Merci jeff!

C'est drĂ´le!

You are making a good joke! I am still laughing!

I do think however that unfortunately the USA is becoming poor!

Do you?

Hugs!

do you mean "nuts" or nuts?

some commentators have noted that the state of CA produces a large number of eccentric people. I am not sure if CA is #1, there are plenty of "nuts" around here in Ft Worth, I see them driving on the freeway named after a disgraced former Speaker of the US House.
