Description

The Pistacia chinensis is a deciduous tree with broad, spreading growth to 50' tall and wide. Its leaves have 10-16 leaflets, and the fall coloring arrives in beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow. The young trees are often gawky and have reddish color leaflets, but some become shapely with age. Trees are drought and cold tolerant, and can adapt to a wide variety of soils.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
