Pecans grow on pecan trees and walnuts grow on walnut trees...

Stupid grows on stupid trees... what a dumb answer.

This is directly from http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-pecans-and-vs-walnuts/

The most notable difference in appearance lies in the shape of pecans and walnuts. Walnuts resemble human brain in their formation, while pecans have deep ridges that are long though retaining the same elliptical shape. Pecans are dark brown, whereas walnuts are light brown in color. There are also differences in taste with distinct flavor of both pecans and walnuts. If you are in a market, you would be surprised to see higher priced pecan in comparison to better known walnuts.

Pecans are native to the central and eastern parts of the United States and parts of Mexico. Its earliest history can be traced to the 16th century. Back then, the nuts were named pecan -- a Native American term that described, "nuts that need a stone to crack it." I cannot find the term, "shay" associated with pecans.
