Planting & Care
1. Planting: Though your Chinese Pistache Tree boasts hard, rot-resistant wood and tolerance for soil, climate and more, it’s important to keep a few best practices in mind. Note: Young trees may need staking and grow slowly for the first few years, which is beneficial for acclimation to your landscape.
When you’re ready to plant, choose a full sun location (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day) and dig a hole that’s at least two to three times the size of your tree’s root ball. After placing your tree, backfill the soil, tamp down to ensure air pockets are eliminated and water your tree.
Well-drained soil is preferable, but the Chinese Pistache Tree is not fussy and tolerates most soil types.
2. Watering: Water your Chinese Pistache Tree once weekly or every 10 days during summer, tapering down to a monthly watering during winter. You should also allow your soil to dry on the surface between waterings.
3. Fertilizing: Chinese Pistache Trees under 5 years old should be fed in early spring with a nitrogen-based fertilizer.
4. Pruning: A bit of careful structural pruning may be helpful in the early years of your Chinese Pistache Tree’s growth – this helps it to develop an even canopy and proper branch spacing.

The trees and plants from fast growing trees are always healthy.
United StatesVery Happy
We are very happy. We can’t wait to see them start growing. Your customer service is amazing. We have purchased a Crepe Myrtle from you also. And will purchase more tree in the future.
United StatesI planted it as soon as it arrived. I had already prepared the hole. Used the root booster. It has been less than 3 weeks and it already has new growth. I'm very excited.
United StatesChinese Pistache
Just go it planted and it seems to be doing well, I'm very excited to watch it grow.
United StatesBeautiful tree
A few branches broken during shipment or while packing, but nothing serious. I planted immediately and it has survived the hot Florida heat for over two weeks while putting on new growth. It is replacing a maple tree in our front yard. I am very optimistic that this tree will continue to grow and and bring beauty to our home.
