Pistacia texana (Texas Pistachio)

The Texas Pistachio, scientifically known as Pistacia texana, is a deciduous tree native to the south-central region of the United States. It is a small to medium-sized tree that can reach a height of up to 16 feet. The tree produces clusters of small, greenish-yellow flowers in spring, which are followed by small, edible fruits resembling pistachios. The Texas Pistachio is well-suited to arid conditions and requires minimal water once established. It is an excellent choice for ornamental landscaping in Texas and other similar climates.
