Chris says... carlos, doubt you will have much success. But nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say. Pistachios are a high dessert tree. To grow and bear fruit they require very hot summers (more than 600 hours >30C); very cold winters (more than 1,000 hours <7C); and well-drained soil. Oh, and not to deter you any further, grown under good conditions, pistachios take six years to produce the first nuts! | About the Author Chris Sydney 23rd September 2009 1:10pm #UserID: 2281 Posts: 263 View All Chris 's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... I bought some beautiful pistachio nuts in Woolies that were grown somewhere along the Murray? On the back of the pack it said they were from trees developed/bred by the CSIRO. They don't have them in our store now - but they were the best pistachio I have ever had. Do they really need that much cold? I didn't know that.. | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

Farouk says... Hello George, Nice I am also very keen as yourself to try plant some from seed & wait out the 6years or so & also the chance of them "e;not making any fruits/nuts"e; this is what one plant seller in Adelaide tells me but of course all trees need to reproduce & seed/fruit at some point..? Do you have any specific contacts or dates when fresh seeds would be available ? I did try contact Harris Farm by online chat but advised me they don't sell them, they may have been mistaken so I have emailed the 3 email contacts on their website. Thanks so much, let me know if you have a lead. | About the Author Farouk FAIRFIELD EAST,2165,NSW 22nd November 2017 5:04pm #UserID: 8110 Posts: 206 View All Farouk's Edible Fruit Trees |

Farouk says... If you're really keen (more than me) they are selling trees in Adelaide for $80.00 maybe worth the trip over for you or to pay the $50 for delivery next year. For pickup they have some at the moment for local pickup. http://perrysfruitnursery.com.au/purchase-pistachio-trees/ | About the Author Farouk FAIRFIELD EAST,2165,NSW 22nd November 2017 5:10pm #UserID: 8110 Posts: 206 View All Farouk's Edible Fruit Trees |

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi George Nice maybe after 3-4 years if your local condition is right for growing pistachios you might be able to know their sexual identity. Plant some more seeds to increase your chances of having both sexes in your collection hence a healthy nut production down the track.

Markmelb says... My Pistachio seedlings from fresh seed are still growing well esp one in larger pot - i read they graft onto a related pistachia tree for better hardiness as pistachios can succumb to various issues - i was thinking of getting scions from a friends trees in the future or finding those more ideal rootstocks - a work still in progress. | About the Author Markmelb MOUNT WAVERLEY,3149,VIC 24th April 2018 8:38pm #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |

ffred says... how did you go with your pistachio trees. You sound very involved with grafting and such. I am getting on and want trees that are mature for obvious reasons. Do you have root stock and pistachio trees. I also have a grafted citrus. husband bought a few from local hardware and 2 have died off above graft. can I graft onto them again | About the Author ffred eyre peninsula 12th October 2018 9:11pm #UserID: 19144 Posts: 1 View All ffred's Edible Fruit Trees |

Enjgma01au says... I have a 10 year old female pistachio that is fruiting, without the presence of a male. I used to have a male tree, but it died last year when tenants renting our house didn’t water or look after it. I can confirm that there in not a male within at least 1km ( our property is 5 acres, and nearest property is 500m from our fence). How is this possible? There would be maybe 50 nuts, not a huge amount, but still trying to understand how this is happening. | About the Author Enjgma01au Barossa 28th October 2019 11:34am #UserID: 21132 Posts: 3 View All Enjgma01au's Edible Fruit Trees |

Enigma01au1 says... I don't have a Chinese pistachio, and as far as i know there isn't one locally (they are very pretty though, i may have to get one :-)). You must be right, as unlikley as I think there isn't one, there HAS to be one. I have been trying to find a male tree to replace the deceased one, without any luck. Apparently there is a shortage Australia wide. So, I've sourced some fresh seed and planted those. I know that out of the 25 seeds planted i should get at least one male...even if it takes another 10 years to find out...I can be very patient. And hopefully in the meantime I can hunt out another one.

jakfruit etiquette says... Pistachio is wind pollinated, but also attracts bees, so pollen could come from afar. 500m may not be too far for some species to be pollinated. The other possibility is hermaphrodite flowers, ie self pollinated. Check if your pistachio has a mustachio. I have seen one or two fruit on male trees of other species once or twice. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 30th October 2019 9:12pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

Enjgma01au says... Haha, no “mustachios” that I can see! Lots to consider there. The local town is 1km North West of us which is the prevailing wind direction, so maybe there is another tree there. We also have some beehives in the area and lots of native bees which are super active at the moment. I think these are very likely to be answer. I am so happy to see these nuts develop, I was very sad when I saw what our tenants had done to the garden, including the poor male pistachio tree. | About the Author Enjgma01au Barossa 31st October 2019 9:33am #UserID: 21132 Posts: 3 View All Enjgma01au's Edible Fruit Trees |

brad16 says... Along with what jakfruit has already suggested, I'd be interested in how many of them end up being 'blanks'. A certain proportion of pistacios are commonly known to develop without a seed inside (known as a blank). I've heard that they attribute this to non-pollination. So it'd be interesting to see what they are like after they mature. Wonder how many 'pop', and how many 'blanks' there will be? I also agree with jakfruit's suggestion of flower bi-sexuality and even apomixis (where a flower can reproduce a seed without pollination). I don't think life science is 100% absolute. We generalise living things into categories. This doesn't necessarily mean living things will always conform to them. Good luck raising your seeds. I think your tree will enjoy a friend ... eventually :) | About the Author brad16 GOROKAN,2263,NSW 4th November 2019 12:32pm #UserID: 14079 Posts: 175 View All brad16's Edible Fruit Trees |
