PISTACIA chinensis
|
Description: Fall colors can be incredible shades of red and orange. In addition to its showy, sumac-like leaves, the Chinese pistache will stand up to pollution, drought, lousy soil, or restricted
root space and still grow into an impressive, spreading, 20 to
35 foot tree. Its spring flowers aren't very noticeable, but the
peppercorn-sized fruits on the female trees can be showy,
maturing from yellow to red to metallic blue, but are often
eaten by birds. Introduced from China by EH Wilson. Zones
7-9.
