This is a large native pecan tree that is over 50 years old ~ could be as much as 100 years old. There are many of it's progeny around it's base, just out from the canopy line. I'm not good at guessing height, but notice my 10 year old, 5 foot tall nephew standing in front of it ~ maybe it's 60 feet tall?

Here are two juvenile native pecan trees. The one in front is about three years old while the one behind it is about six. Both have been pruned regularly ~ if left to their own devices, they wouldn't get this tall this quickly.
