From Question and Answer Forums: What are others saying about this plant?
It is possible to grow Pistache in Northern Kentucky. The Zoo has several specimens that have gone as low as negative 24 degrees. Try BZAK landscape. Ask for Dave.Steve
can I grow this in Northern Kentucky. I dont care if it stays small or grows slowly.
The last place I saw a Pistache was at BZAK in Newtown. They had one left. The best time to get one may be when the weather cools.
Im considering planting a chinese pistache tree, and wondering if theyre readily available and if so, where.Thanks
That may be a tough one. You can find these down south but rarely this far north although it seems to do well here. I have seen this at BZAK in Cincinnati in the past. Try there.Let me know if you do not find one.Steve
