Pecan Tree Circa 1850 - Mount Vernon

We visited George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate in the beautiful State of Virginia.

This historic landmark was Washington’s home as well as his resting place.

 

This tall old pecan tree (Carya illinoinensis) is thought by historians to be one of the pecans given to Washington by Thomas Jefferson.
