Pistacia chinensis 'Keith Davey'
A most attractive deciduous tree, to 25' tall and slowly to 50' x 20-30' wide, known for its tolerance of dry, difficult sites and its florescent fall color, a particularly brilliant orange in this cultivar. This selection chosen from its maleness! (as in lack of fruit) and attractive, red-tinted leaves. Loves sun and an occasional deep watering to get established and speed growth. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 6.
"Finally! We looked for this plant for our garden for twenty years and finally found one in California. This male form of the Chinese pistachio has no fruit. The fall color is early (late September) and is brilliant red-orange. Our plant is 15’ X 10’ after 20 years, but can get bigger in warmer climes.
