where are the most pecans grown in the us
Pecan Pecans were one of the most recently domesticated major crops. Although wild pecans were well known among native and colonial Americans as a delicacy, the commercial growing of pecans in the United States did not begin until the 1880s.[11] As of 2010, the U.S. produces between 80% and 95% of the world's pecans, with an annual crop of 150â€“200 thousand tons[12] from more than 10 million trees.[13] The nut harvest for growers is typically around mid-October. Historically, the leading pecan-producing state in the U.S. has been Georgia, followed by New Mexico,<refhttp://krqe.com/2017/09/18/push-in-congress-could-help-new-mexico-pecan-farmers/></ref> Texas, Arizona, Louisiana, and Oklahoma, the largest orchard being Stahmann Farms in south-central New Mexico;[14] pecans are also grown in Alabama, California, Florida, Arkansas, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Hawaii. Outside the United States, pecans are grown in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Israel, Mexico, Peru, and South Africa. They can be grown from USDA hardiness zones approximately 5 to 9, provided summers are also hot and humid.
