The pecan is a species of hickory native to northern Mexico and the southern United States in the region of the Mississippi River. The tree is cultivated for its seed in the southern United States, primarily in Georgia, and in Mexico, which produces nearly half of the world's total. The seed is an edible nut used as a snack and in various recipes, such as praline candy and pecan pie.

Like Mesquite, Oak, and Hickory, pecan wands enhance cooking spells, imparting a smoky, delicious flavor to food, a feature that has ingrained them in culinary traditions among magical folk.
