About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Chinese pistache brings the seasonal color of an Asian deciduous tree into ornamental landscapes. It is related to the pistachio, but its principal garden value is its canopy and autumn foliage rather than an edible nut harvest. The changing leaves make it especially interesting in a planting designed to mark the passage from summer into fall.

Think of it as a future shade tree with a seasonal focal point. Give the young plant enough room to establish a balanced crown, and place it where the foliage can be viewed against a simple background. Seedlings develop individually, so the precise autumn color and form will vary. That variation is part of the appeal of raising a landscape tree from seed.
