Immature pecan fruits

The pecan is a species of hickory native to the southern United States and northern Mexico. A pecan, like the fruit of all other members of the hickory genus, is not truly a nut, but is technically a drupe, a fruit with a single stone or pit, surrounded by a husk. The pecan tree is a large deciduous tree, growing to 20–40 m (66–131 ft) in height. Native pecans in Mexico are adapted from zone 9 to zone 11.
