for it's fall color in our warm climate.
Every November it never fails to please.
The sapling came from Woodlanders in Aiken SC
ten years ago. I have pruned it to try to get a nicely shaped tree.
According to Monrovia this species is often used as
root stock for it's cousin the nut producing
Pistacia vera.
An added bonus of a female tree
are these pinky/red berries
I did not know about them when I bought the tree and have never seen the flowers.
The male variety is preferred for street trees
eliminating the debris from the berries.
This easy to grow tree is a fall favorite.
