Where do pecans grow?
A
Pecans are native to North America. Almost all of the world’s 
pecans are grown in North America, specifically the southern 
part of the United States. The pecan industry in Mexico is 
growing and that country now produces about one-fourth as 
many pecans as the United States. Much smaller amounts of 
pecans are grown in Australia, Israel, South Africa, Argentina 
and a few other places.
