Missouri grows tasty Pecans (Pronounced pEE-Kan there) They are know for their rich oil or butter.

Counting hybrids, there are over 1,000 varieties of pecans, and all are delicious. They grow only in warm climates because they need from 205-235 frost-free days to nut. And they nut only once every other year.

Texas grows the most native pecans and runs 2nd only to Georgia in growing hybrids. The Texas State Nut is the pecan and their State Tree is their native pecan, Carya Illinoensis.

Pecan growing States: The US grows nearly 90% of the world's pecans. And quite a few Southern states grow them.

The top 5 producers are Georgia, followed by Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Louisiana.

In alphabetical order the pecan growing states are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas. Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee, and Virginia also grow some pecan trees.

Although the US is the world's largest pecan producer, other countries grow pecans, too, including Australia, Brazil, Israel, Mexico, Peru, and South Africa.
