I guess I could plant one for FUTURE generations huh...I would LOVE a pecan tree, as I use so many of them in my cooking.

A friend of mine has a volunteer Eve's Necklace, too... maybe it's a mark of honor from Mother Nature!A previous owner here planted 2 Pecans in back and 3 Arizona Ashes in front. They did give shade, but are now on the far end of their natural lifespan, unfortunately. We never get any pecan nuts either, but enjoy the shade. Now I have to go look up "Vasey Oak"...
