Known as the ugly duckling of the tree world when young, the Chinese Pistache develops into an outstanding specimen tree with an umbrella-like crown. At maturity, this tree will achieve a height of 40 feet and a spread of 25 to 35 feet.

Chinese Pistache has finely divided, lustrous green foliage during the summer months, and terrific fall color, plus exfoliating bark for winter interest. The fiery orange and red leaves make this Asian native one of the prettiest trees in autumn. The Chinese Pistache also produces an oil that is used in the production of biodiesel fuel.
