How you pronounce Pecan some people think is a regional thing. It was a family thing, in my family, my mother always pronounced in puh-con, while my father's mother called them pee-cans . So I grew up calling them by whatever the person holding the nuts called them. We had a pecan tree in our yard, part of an old orchard of them, so several houses in the neighborhood had mature trees in their yards. Great shade trees in the Summer, and in the Fall nuts, if you could beat the squirrels to them that is. No one bought pecans, you picked them up in the front yard, these days I buy them or if I'm lucky (like with these) someone with a tree gifts me with some of their bounty.
