The film traces the history of a massive pecan tree in a stately neighborhood on the edge of the Park Cities. The tree was planted sometime in the mid-19th century and withstood harsh North Texas weather and development that plowed over a farm to become quite a landmark in the Dallas area, particularly during the holiday season.

More information on the film is coming to kera.org soon, but for now, take a few minutes and watch – you’ll be glad you did.
