Louisiana's state nut (5)

I believe the answer is:

pecan

(Other definitions for pecan that I've seen before include "Nut tree of the southern United States and Mexico" , "Nut of American hickory tree" , "Something like a walnut" , "Nutty type" , "US nut tree" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
