| Description | Pistacia vera is a deciduous Tree growing to 10 m (32ft 10in) at a medium rate. Pistacia vera is dioecious (individual flowers are either male or female, but only one sex is to be found on any one plant so both male and female plants must be grown if seed is required). The plant is not self-fertile. Inhabits hilly and mountainous regions, especially on sandstone soils, with a temperature range from -10°c in the winter to 40°c in the summer, to 1500 metres[200].
