Pistacia
chinensis * Chinese Pistache |
| In our area Chinese
Pistache produces more Fall color than any other tree I have seen.
Pistacia chinensis has a moderate growth rate. Most Pistaciatrees that I see
around town are in the 20 foot range with one specimen 30 feet tall. The trees are dioecious, with the female trees bearing small
1/8" nuts. Pistacia chinensis can easily be propagated by seed.
Some people purchase grafted male plants for this reason. I like to
see brilliant fall foliage like that of the Chinese Pistache against a
dark backdrop such as pines. Pistacia chinense is
extraordinarily hardy, surviving Winter temperatures of 20 below and more.
High resolution images of Pistacia chinensis are available.
