Unfortunatly Pistache comes as a male tree and female tree seperatly. The female tree sets numbeous berries that create a mess and the energy going into fruit production reduce the growth and size of the tree.

Most pistache in the market are3 seedling trtees which mean you don't know if you have a male or female until it is too late, 5- 10 years after being planted.

Recently I helped encourage three california nurseries to put a male strain with distinctly superior fall color into production by grafting. Keith Davies is a pistache with the attributes you need for a wonderful garden tree. It is moderate fast. Has a well behaved froot system under most conditions and seems disease and pest free. It does sometimes need application of additional iron

We have access to a limited number of Keith Davies trees in #15 and 24" box sizes. Although the price is higher because of the additional growing time required by grafting, it is well worth the difference.

If you want a truly superior tree with excellent fall color come in and look at Keith Davies Pistache
