Many years ago my husband's father brought home a pecan tree from
Mississippi (where he was born) We live in Zone 5 and everyone told
him how impossible it would be...never grow...even if it did grow it
would never produce pecans... Well...he just smiled and nodded...

Now (years later) in Pittsburgh, Indiana there stands a pecan tree
over 30 feet tall.
