In the Garden
In gardens, this small to medium tree should be planted in light shade or full sun. It’s the perfect plant for oriental-style gardens, but will grace any gardening style with equal ease – a rewarding plant that’s also very easy to grow.
Propagation
An incredibly tolerant tree that thrives in harsh situations, the Chinese Pistachio will grow in hot or cold conditions in practically any soil and tolerates drought well. As a result, it is a popular street tree in dry areas. Plants are either male or female, and though the flowers are similar in appearance, only females will bear nuts.
