Carya illinoinensis (Pecan)
Forming a large, rounded canopy, pecan is relatively fast growing, with large, pinnately compound leaves that can be 12-18" long and contain 9-15 leaflets each. It is monecious, with both male and female catkins on the same tree. The fruits (drupes) occur in clusters and mature in autumn. The bark is smooth when young, but then becomes narrowly fissured and scaly over time. Fall Foliage: Yellow.
