Like other nut trees, the pecan has male and female flowers on 

 the same tree. The pistillate blossoms, which develop into nuts, 

 appear on the new growth of each season, while the male, or staminate 

 flowers, in the form of slender, pendulous catkins, or tassels, are 

 borne on wood formed the previous year.
