Pecan trees, known scientifically as Carya illinoinensis, are a type of hickory tree native to North America. The journey of a pecan on a tree begins with the planting of a seed or a grafted sapling. Pecans are typically grown from grafted trees to ensure the best quality nuts. These young trees require well-drained soil, plenty of sunlight, and sufficient water to thrive.
