Pistacia chinensis
Pistacia chinensis
A dioecious, slender, deciduous tree 10-15 m tall for growing in open ground (southern regions) and winter gardens.
Beautiful paripinnate leaves turn red in autumn. In April, small flowers appear on the plant in small apical brushes. After flowering, fruits are formed, initially red, then purple, ripening in October - November.
Chinese pistachio prefers sunny places and is undemanding to the composition of the soil. Cold-resistant, needs shelter for the winter, does not tolerate low negative temperatures for a long time. Before sowing, the seeds are scarified (the shell is slightly superficially filed or soaked in hot water for a day in a thermos). Sow in a neutral, well-drained soil mixture of leaf soil, compost and river sand (3:1:1) to a depth of 1 cm. At a temperature of 20-23 ° C, shoots appear in 3-6 weeks. Seedlings are pricked out into pots and grown further. Stronger plants are planted in open ground. Tolerates pruning well. Used to create landscape gardens, rock gardens, hedges. Often grown indoors as bonsai.
