Does the Red Push Pistache produce seeds or berries?

The Red Push Pistache (Pistacia × 'Red Push') is a hybrid pistache tree, and one of its appealing qualities is that it typically does not produce seeds or berries. This characteristic makes it a popular ornamental tree since it doesn’t create the mess that fruiting pistache trees can.

The Red Push Pistache is prized for its vibrant red fall foliage and is generally a sterile variety, meaning it won’t produce the small, inedible fruit (similar to berries) that female pistache trees might. This is beneficial if you're looking for a low-maintenance landscape tree without the concern of dropped seeds or berries.

What is the gallon size of tree?

That will depend upon which option you choose. Please see the "Choose an option" dropdown menu near the top of the page, which will show you the various sizes/options that are available.

When is the best time of year to plant the red push pistache tree. We are in Gulf Shores Alabama . We are also interested in planting an orange tree what time of year is best for this also?

We appreciate you reaching out to us. Because weather and soil conditions vary so much from year to year and even within your zone, it's best to think of your planting time as a range of favorable conditions instead of an exact time.

You can plant new plants and trees:
1) when the ground is not frozen.
2) when daytime temperatures are above freezing (32ºF) and below 90ºF.
3) when extreme weather (blizzard, hail, torrential rain, etc.) is not in the forecast. Be sure to keep plants watered if you're transplanting in warm and/or dry weather.

If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a great day!

How fast does this tree grow?

The Red Push Pistache tree has a moderate to fast growth rate of about 12–24 inches per year.

Why is my red push pistache turning red in late July?

Red push pistache trees (Pistacia chinensis) change color throughout the season, from red to green to yellow to orange to red again. However, there are several reasons why a Chinese pistache might not turn red as well as expected, including:
Irrigation: Too much or too little water can cause leaves to drop or change color. Moon Valley Nurseries recommends watering red push pistache trees slowly and deeply, and adding an extra watering per week during hot weather.
Humidity: Humidity differences and summer stress can affect the tree's color.
Sunshine: Trees planted too close together can partially shade each other.
Tree maturity: Well-established trees generally show better color than younger trees.
Male or female: Female Chinese pistache trees produce small red seeds in the fall, but they don't usually turn as red as male trees.

how tall is the red push pistache  tree full grown?

When I did research on the Chinese Pistache, I read that the tree can grow 40’ wide and 50’ tall under ideal growing conditions.

When does this red push pistachio co start budding?

Here in southern NewMexico, we have wild winds all through March and in early April, I see mine budding.

is the red push chinese pistache tree i'm ordering a male tree?

Yes this is a male variety.

Does the 
Red Push Pistache Tree produce nuts?

No this is not a nut bearing tree.

What is the trunk size for the red push pistache tree when ordering a supreme XL potted tree. Will it have leaves ? I would like something that is not a twig but looks like a tree ready to be plan

When shipped, regular trees are about 3-4' tall and/or with a 3/8" or larger trunk diameter. A Stark® Supreme Tree is one of the season's top-grade, bare-root trees that gives you a head start on growing. When Supreme trees are shipped, they are about 4-5' tall and/or with a 5/8" or larger trunk diameter. However having leaves is not guaranteed as trees are going to be falling dormant soon .

Fast growing Red Push Pistache tree
I bought this tree to replace a shade tree that was blown down during a wind storm a few years ago. I chose this for color and hope it's canapy will be big enough for shade but not too big. It has really taken off since being planted in Jan 2024.

LOOKING GOOD
So far, so good. The little guy seems to have established himself and is just now getting ready to shed his leaves for the winter. I think what happens in the Spring will tell the tale!

Happy with the purchase.
I bought a total of 4 Red Push Pishache trees from Stark's Brothers earlier this year. I was impressed with the size and how healthy they looked upon arrival. I planted them in pots for now until their permanent home is ready. They are doing very well. The leaves turned orange and red before they fell off for the winter. Very happy with the purchase.

I really don't know. It arrived in October and I planted it according to directions. To date it is still a stick with no buds.
