Pecan - Leaf


Pecan leaves are pinnately compound and arranged alternately along the stem. Each leaf is composed of 11 to 17 leaflets.

Each leaflet has a toothed margin and reaches 4 to 7 inches long and 1 to 3 inches wide. The tip of each leaflet curves slightly downward, giving it a hooked appearance.
