The Texas Pecan Board celebrated October, 2020 as Texas Pecan Month and we hope to celebrate every October as Texas Pecan Month. Texas Loves Pecans! The pecan has been recognized by the state of Texas in several ways overtime. In 1919, the pecan tree was named the State Tree of Texas, making it among the oldest state tree designations in the country. In 2001, the pecan was declared the Official State Health Nut. In 2013, the pecan pie was named the Texas State Pie. #TexasPecanMonth
