Notice that the peanuts are in the root of the plant, which grows underground. If you live in Georgia you may have seen this plant before. Georgia grows about half of the peanuts in the United States!

Walnuts, pecans, cashews, almonds all grow on trees. These beautiful trees grow in many parts of the United States and can be seen by visiting a nut farm. These farms are fairly common throughout the United States, especially if you live in warmer weather climates.
