	Ketzel Levine's Talking Plants

	Plant Answers
		The sex of the Chinese Pistache cannot be determined until it matures (5 to 7 years or longer) and begins to have fruit (the female) or not have fruit (the male).
		Since the Chinese Pistache is difficult to root and propagate from cuttings, the majority (or all!!) trees are seedlings that cannot be sexed at an early age.
		I have never noticed a "mess" under any female Chinese Pistache because the birds get most of the viable berries and the non-viable berries (which never color) shrivel up and can be lawn-mowed into the turf.

		A fast growing, beautiful tree that provides shade in a short period of time, the Pistache is a recommended tree for southcentral Texas.
		Being among oaks, the tree does not receive enough sunlight to enable it to exhibit the bright red foliage in the fall.
		Admittedly, the lack of fall coloring may be due to our usually mild temperatures in the fall; last year when we had earlier really cold weather, all of the trees whose foliage is able to turn to beautiful fall colors did so, and my Pistache was a little more colorful.
