Species

Pistachio

Deep-rooted and drought-tolerant once established — suited to marginal land where other fruit trees struggle.

Scientific name: Pistacia vera

Pistachio is native to the wider region and copes with poor soils and limited water better than most orchard species, making it a candidate for restoration plantings.

It is a patient crop: years pass before first harvests, so pistachio plantings are planned as long-term assets with realistic expectations.
