Abstract:

The sweet pecan, now commonly found in the Southeast, is not native to the area. The trees are indigenous to Mississippi westward and then northward to the southern part of the Midwest. Pecan trees in Eastern North Carolina often do not grow in forests but rather around towns and farms where the ground is fertilized and minerals have been added to the soil. Most varieties require long hot summers and the majority of pecan groves are located in southeastern counties.
