OTHER:
The Pistachio Tree is the source of the incredibly popular edible Pistachio Nut. Pistacia Vera is native to parts of Asia & the Middle East, but is now grown commercially in many parts of the world. The trees are slow growing, & typically only reach 20' at most in cultivation. This desert plant tolerates drought well, & enjoys hot sunny conditions.
The beautiful spring flower clusters turn to showy clusters of fruit. The hard shelled seeds of the fruit are pistachios, & they can be eaten raw or cooked. Add them to salads, in soups & stir fries, with fish or poultry dishes, countless deserts, or as an ice cream topping :)
From Wikipedia: The seed, commonly thought of as a nut, is a culinary nut, not a botanical nut. The fruit has a hard, creamish exterior shell. The seed has a mauvish skin and light green flesh, with a distinctive flavor. When the fruit ripens, the shell changes from green to an autumnal yellow/red, and abruptly splits part way open.
So, the nuts naturally open when they are mature, & this is when they should be harvested. The plants are dioecious, so both male & female plants are needed for pollination. The trees are very showy with beautiful red buds & flowers, as well as the many color changing fruit that has lovely shades. Wildlife will enjoy eating the pistachios too if you are kind enough to leave some for them :)
The seeds of
Pistacia atlantica
for planting and
grafting with pistachio
are sourced from North Africa
(my country, Algeria) (
fresh and new
)
98% germination by removing empty seeds (floating on water)
The tree is more than
3000
years old
It does not need care or watering, and it can grow in poor, saline or limestone lands, and it is cold-loving to do the process of winter hibernation and loving high temperatures in the summer
It is very resistant to pests, diseases and worms. It is a wild tree that can be easily grown as a seed for grafting with an eye of a real pistachio tree from one of your neighbors or friends.
You do not need to buy a whole tree at a high price and with weak specifications, prone to pests and not resistant to diseases
