Overview
Chinese Pistache (Pistacia chinensis) is an attractive deciduous tree native to central and western China. It grows up to 30 feet tall with a rounded crown and a spread of 25 feet wide. It features glossy, dense foliage that turns a brilliant, vibrant orange-red to burgundy in fall. The tree also produces long, elegant panicles of insignificant yellow-green flowers in spring, making it a pleasing addition to an outdoor landscape.
