Under favourable conditions pistachio trees can live and produce for centuries. Like kiwi, pistachio is dioecious - separate male and female trees are needed, with the female tree bearing the nuts once pollinated by a nearby male tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClimate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suited to areas with temperatures below 35°C; young trees may need staking as they establish their spreading habit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Spacing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive pistachio plenty of open space to spread as it matures.

Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. Pistachio shells can be a choking hazard for pets, and the nuts' high fat content may cause stomach upset or worse in dogs if eaten in large quantity - keep shelled nuts away from pets.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PlantsGram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45554296127623,"sku":"PG-FRUIT-PISTACHIO-01-P1","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/9984\/7303\/files\/Pistachio-Grafted-3.webp?v=1787753886","url":"https:\/\/plantsgram.com\/products\/pistachio-grafted-fruit-plant","provider":"PlantsGram","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
