PLANT PROFILE

Pistacia chinensis, commonly called Chinese Pistache, is a deciduous tree celebrated for its spectacular autumn color display. It grows moderately fast to reach 15–25 meters in height and spreads 10–20 meters wide, offering broad shade and visual impact.

The tree features bright green, compound leaves that transition to brilliant orange, red, and yellow hues in fall. Its gray, furrowed, and scaly bark adds year-round texture. Small, inconspicuous greenish-yellow flowers appear in spring.

Chinese Pistache thrives in well-drained soils, requires low maintenance, and is ideal as an ornamental, shade, or feature tree in landscapes.

How to Plant:
