I planted 3 years ago in the front yard which is west facing getting full sun. It's doing very well.  It has survived 2 wet cold winters.  It has not produced any nuts yet, it's still very young.  I give it seasol twice a year, spinkle cow manure once a year and have also spinkled some slow release fertilizer.

Pistachio Nut Tree (Seedling) ^7/10

Comments: -

Just bought this not long ago of ebay.  It is a very small seedling.  I understand that you need two to cross pollinate and I don't know if this one is a male or female.  My kids and I love pistachios and would love to find a piastachio tree that is double grafted with male and female.  I have limited space to plant two trees.  Any ideas?
