Description

Tough as nails, drought tolerant, easy to transplant, and pest free are all terms used to describe the Chinese pistache. This beautiful, medium-sized tree is perfect for both the home landscape and the urban environment. An unattractive, almost gawky tree when young, Chinese pistache develops into an outstanding specimen tree with an umbrella-like crown. At maturity, this tree will achieve a height of 40 feet and a spread of 25 to 35 feet. There are male and female trees. Its main branches may be upright to arching. Proper pruning when the tree is young is essential to create a symmetrical tree with good form. Chinese pistache has finely divided, lustrous green foliage during the summer months, and terrific fall color, plus exfoliating bark for winter interest. The fiery orange and red leaves make this Asian native one of the prettiest trees in autumn. Other than a requirement for well-drained soil, this plant will flourish in nearly every soil type. Transplant one into your landscape – you’ll be glad you did.
