yep I have 12 mature pecans along my driveway

they make a nice dramatic entrance to my place but primarily they are a steady source of smoking wood

Sounds like where my relatives live. One of their houses had maybe 8-10 along the hill in their front yard. About a half mile down, my uncle had about 15 spread out. They were all old and mature 30+ years ago when I was a young boy. Some years were great for a decent harvest. Others, you stack the wood that falls and use it for the firepit or smoker.
