- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about pecan production in Georgia. Although the pecan has a long history in North America, Georgia farmers were relative latecomers in realizing the benefits of this tree nut. By the 1950s, however, Georgia had become the country's leading producer of pecans. As of 2006 Georgia remains the largest pecan-producing state in the nation.
