Chinese Pistachio (Pistacia chinensis) is a exotic tree included in the City of Sydney tree species list. Council data indicates approximately 12 m high and 10 m spread, with a rounded canopy form. Its noted amenity value is interesting foliage. Its recorded local performance is very reliable. Final selection should still account for available soil volume, services, exposure and the mature canopy required on the site.
