The beautiful, medium-sized Chinese Pistache is one tough customer. Drought-tolerant, pest-free and easy to transplant, it is perfect for urban environments. Leaves are a lustrous dark green in summer and turn a beautiful orange to red in fall. Pistache prefers full sun and does well in a variety of soils, plus it's drought-tolerant once established. When it's young, proper pruning is needed to create a symmetrical oval to round shape. Look for exfoliating bark in the winter. A good tree for a patio, garden or along a street.
