I just listened to that entire Up and Vanished podcast...a pecan orchard figures prominently.

And it was pronounced PEE-CAN 1,000 times. Not sure how I finished the podcast.

It should be pronounced the way the state that produces it pronounces it.

Born in raised in Brusly, La and I made money every year picking my pick-kahns and selling them to the gas station


The black kids (and one white kid from down the street) that also came and picked them without our permission also made money

Idk about you, but I'm willing to die on this pick-AHN hill fighting those PEE-can commies.

New Mexico and Arizona pecan production is pretty surprising.

So...that would be "Pa-Ka-Na". I believe that is how they pronounce it in Chihuahua.

There's a huge orchard just north of Tucson. They've been planting trees all over the place. Apparently the Chinese are pecan fiends.

Everyone outside the south pronounces it this way...

Only ones from the south that pronounces it this way is from Georgia...

I have no clue why Georgia has to be different...
