Getting it in: the largest size here needs machine access rather than a doorway, and sometimes a lift over the roof. Measure the narrowest point on the route and tell us on the booking call. Standard access is included in the price, and anything unusual is quoted and agreed with you before work begins. What happens on installation day

Overview & Specifications
Chinese Pistachio Pistacia chinensis
Few deciduous trees deliver the seasonal drama of Pistacia chinensis. Renowned for its spectacular autumn colour, fiery reds, burnt oranges, and deep golds, this is a specimen that commands attention and holds its presence across every season.
Why Chinese Pistachio
Autumn Colour: Among the most vivid deciduous displays available in the Australian climate, reliable, intense, and consistent year after year.
Structural Form: A broad, domed canopy with attractive compound foliage that provides excellent summer shade and strong architectural presence.
Climate Adaptability: Exceptionally tough. Tolerates heat, drought, and poor soils once established, suited to a wide range of Australian conditions.
Longevity: A long-lived specimen that matures into a landmark tree, increasing in value and stature with each passing decade.
Low Maintenance: Minimal intervention required post-establishment, a practical choice for large-scale professional projects without compromising on impact.
Ideal Applications
Prestige Residential: A statement specimen for formal lawns, arrival courts, or open entertaining areas where seasonal drama is an asset.
Avenue Planting: Consistent canopy shape and predictable scale make it an excellent choice for formal avenue or boulevard installations.
Commercial Landscapes: Well-suited to corporate campuses, mixed-use developments, and public realm projects requiring low-maintenance, high-impact trees.
Streetscape & Civic: Proven performance in urban conditions, tolerates compacted soils and reflected heat better than many comparable deciduous species.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 8 to 12m
Best Planting Season: Autumn to early spring
Soil & Drainage: Adaptable to a wide range of soils including clay, loam and sandy soils; prefers well-drained conditions but tolerates periods of drought once established
Establishment Care: Water deeply and regularly for the first two years to encourage deep root establishment, then reduce to supplemental watering during prolonged dry periods. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch clear of the trunk.
