The incredible, edible #nut. Here's a look at the 8,000-year history of the #pecan
by Shelly Mitchell, Oklahoma State University/Special to Wisconsin State Farmer, Nov. 26, 2025
Excerpt: "The pecan derives its name from the #Algonquin '#pakani,' which means 'a nut too hard to crack by hand.' Rich in fat and easy to transport, pecans traveled with #NativeAmericans throughout what is now the southern United States. They were used for food, #medicine and trade as early as 8,000 years ago.
"Pecans are native to the southern United States, and while they had previously spread along travel and trade routes, the first documented purposeful planting of a pecan tree was in New York in 1722. Three years later, George Washington’s estate, Mount Vernon, had some planted pecans. Washington loved pecans, and Revolutionary War soldiers said he was constantly eating them.
"Meanwhile, no one needed to plant pecans in the South, since they naturally grew along riverbanks and in groves. Pecan trees are alternate bearing: They will have a very large crop one year, followed by one or two very small crops. But because they naturally produced a harvest with no input from farmers, people did not need to actively cultivate them. Locals would harvest nuts for themselves but otherwise ignored the self-sufficient trees.
"It wasn’t until the late 1800s that people in the pecan’s native range realized the pecan’s potential worth for income and trade. Harvesting pecans became competitive, and young boys would climb onto precarious tree branches. One girl was lifted by a hot air balloon so she could beat on the upper branches of trees and let them fall to collectors below. Pecan poaching was a problem in natural groves on private property.
"Even with so obvious a demand, cultivated orchards in the South were still rare into the 1900s. Pecan trees don’t produce nuts for several years after planting, so their future quality is unknown.
"To guarantee quality nuts, farmers began using a technique called grafting; they’d join branches from quality trees to another pecan tree’s trunk. The first attempt at grafting pecans was in 1822, but the attempts weren’t very successful.
"Grafting pecans became popular after an enslaved man named Antoine who lived on a Louisiana plantation successfully produced large pecans with tender shells by grafting, around 1846. His pecans became the first widely available improved pecan variety.
"The variety was named Centennial because it was introduced to the public 30 years later at the Philadelphia Centennial Expedition in 1876, alongside the telephone, Heinz ketchup and the right arm of the Statue of Liberty.
"This technique also sped up the production process. To keep pecan quality up and produce consistent annual harvests, today’s pecan growers shake the trees while the nuts are still growing, until about half of the pecans fall off. This reduces the number of nuts so that the tree can put more energy into fewer pecans, which leads to better quality. Shaking also evens out the yield, so that the alternate-bearing characteristic doesn’t create a boom-bust cycle."

Tonight’s #TMYK (6/365) is so cool!
I just learned on the TNC webinar about the 1903 Missouri River flood. The largest flood for our state in recorded history.
One outcome was that pecan seeds were deposited along the floodplain. There is a farm in Brunswick, Missouri still harvesting the nuts from some of those trees.
BONUS: Brunswick, MO is home to the world’s largest pecan. You can visit it. 🤩

this store bought #pecan #pie (and its #peach sister) taste like the sudden absence of God's presence (and also of flavor).
It tastes like being kicked out of Eden
Its only utility is to remind you of what you lost, and may yet regain (the flavor and texture of a pie made at home or a real bakery)
@AllKeysGDS you gotta try this

Now to get the #Pecan pie started.
Still haven't had all my coffee ☕ yet ...

I imagined a horrer story wherein fallen pecan nuts, still in their husks gradually transform into fuchsia/ pink little monsters. sure you can stomp out a few of them, but that only pisses off the rest. They will overwhelm their prey in sheer numbers - you don’t stand a chance. — I went outside and got a pecan, dressing it up with paint and toothpick legs to match what was in my head. #art #artwork #story #horror #pecan #nuts

Pre-game for theatre night, it’s a #stoutSaturday side quest (Porter) from #ClownShoes
Pecan Pie Porter
Sweet and nutty, the pecan flavor really comes through. Smooth finish with a hint of vanilla and subtle bourbon snap.
Love the ridiculous can art and the story of Genghis Pecan 😀

I guess when I wrote my pecan pie recipe down, I doubled it but forgot to indicate that anywhere so I just accidentally made a second pie.
There will be a lot of pie for breakfast in my future.

“The best time to plant a tree was years ago. The next best time is now.”
We only have 1/3 of an acre right now, but will be starting our nut trees in containers this summer in anticipation of our next move.
We’re getting a late start, but super excited.

#December 17, 1948
#OTD The #Kansas City Times featured #Mistletoe #Folklore."After a #Sacrifice, the #Arch #Druid would cut Mistletoe out of an #Oak #Tree with a #Golden #Knife - not letting it touch the ground - & carry it away in a white cloth.
Today, #Missouri youth use a #Squirrel #Rifle & would just as soon shoot [Mistletoe] out of a #Pecan Tree as an Oak.
[More #Berries] bring the greatest returns - either at the #Florists or elsewhere."
