Description

The Pistacia chinensis is a deciduous tree with broad, spreading growth to 50' tall and wide. Its leaves have 10-16 leaflets, and the fall coloring arrives in beautiful shades of bright red. The young trees are often gawky, but some become shapely with age. Trees are drought and cold tolerant, and can adapt to a wide variety of soils.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
