Just how important are pecans to Texas?
A
The pecan is our state tree! In 1919, shortly before he died, 
Gov. Hogg requested that a pecan tree be planted at his 
grave, and that the nuts from the tree be given out to the 
people of Texas to plant so that Texas could become a land of 
trees. Native pecan trees grow along almost every river in 
Texas.
