The Chinese Pistache Tree is a hardy, medium-sized deciduous tree celebrated for its vibrant fall color and low-maintenance nature. During autumn, its foliage transforms into brilliant shades of red, orange, and crimson, making it one of the most colorful shade trees available. In spring and summer, it provides a full, rounded canopy of deep green, finely divided leaves that offer excellent shade. Its attractive, symmetrical shape and strong branching make it a favorite for use as a street tree, lawn specimen, or anchor in larger landscape designs.
Adaptable and tough, the Chinese Pistache thrives in full sun and tolerates a wide range of soil types, including poor or alkaline conditions. It is drought-tolerant once established and performs well in USDA Zones 6 through 9, making it suitable for many climates. This tree is also highly resistant to pests and diseases and has strong, wind-resistant wood. With its four-season interest, durability, and manageable size, the Chinese Pistache is an excellent choice for homeowners and urban planners seeking beauty and resilience in one striking package.

"I've always loved the idea of having a yard full of green leafy trees, I just never found ones that I liked the look of. When we stopped by Moon Valley Nurseries, thier nursery pros were so helpful in working with us to find the right trees and as soon as I laid eyes on these Chinese Pistache I knew I had to have them. They're big and green, and have these nice red tips. The fall color is gorgeous too! I couldn't be happier with my Chinese Pistache trees and Moon Valley Nurseries!"
