The Chinese pistache is known for its glossy, dark green foliage that transforms into stunning shades of deep red and orange in the fall. This vibrant color display remains reliable, even in hot and extended autumns. It features a dense, oval crown, making it an excellent choice for shade or as a street tree. It produces very small flowers that develop into yellow seed pods, which eventually turn red and then blue, an irresistible treat for wildlife.
