Description

Pecan pie season is just around the corner! Are you ready?

In this episode, Lenny Wells, professor of horticulture and extension pecan specialist at the University of Georgia, tells you everything you could know about pecans – where they come from, how they’re grown, and what it takes for them to land on your dessert plate.

Press play to explore:

  • What it means to say that pecans don’t grow “true to seed” and the practical implications of this
  • How long it takes to grow pecans
  • The main varieties of pecans
  • The nutritional benefits of pecans (hint: it has to do with cholesterol and antioxidants!)
  • Disease challenges to pecan production
