Phoebe talks with Richard Heerema, the pecan specialist for New Mexico State University, about pecan botany and physiology, and why it may not be as good of a choice for areas prone to flooding as you think it might be. This is an episode for those who are thinking of planting pecans but have not done so.

Thank you to the Almond Board of California and the California Pistachio Research Board for their support. Music by Muriel Gordon.
