Abstract

Pecan remains the most valuable native North American nut crop. This premium quality nut has traditionally been grown commercially in the southeastern U.S. from Texas to Florida. Recent trends show the production to be expanding in some of the southwestern states. A century ago, native trees produced almost all the production. The proportion of production (by weight) from improved cultivars has been increasing steadily since, and currently accounts for 61 percent of the total (1, 3). Native groves continue to be flooded, bulldozed, and otherwise annihilated.
