The north part of Pleasant Grove in Dallas, Texas was known as Pecan Heights (pronounced as “Pee-KAHN”). Area around Jim Miller and Military Parkway.

Same with my plum trees. Must trim them down occasionally............
Also, it has to be 65°F or higher AND SUNNY when they blossom in the spring or there won’t be any bees to pollinate them..............

pah-kahn, here in Georgia and also N. Fla where I grew up. I can’t say for any English speakers in S.Fla, there are so many yankees down there they may say pee-can.
To: Red Badger
I have always thought it was Pee Kahn with only a very slight emphasis on the first syllable. My family has been in the Florida Panhandle for over 250 years.

I’m from NYC and it’s “puh-kahn.”
To: Red Badger
Put all of the variations in a poke and draw one out and use it. Have congress pass a law as they like being authorities on trivial s%&# anyway.

It’s pronounced Carya illinoinensis.

Google search gave me this info. And to an extant - I agree....
How do people say pecan?
The linguistics department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee just also shared a pecan pronunciation map that gives another option where people may say pee-KAHN by itself, but then say PEE-can when using a compound word, like pecan pie.Jun 6, 2013
