Keith Davey Chinese Pistache
Pistacia chinensis 'Keith Davey'
Sku #9566
A favorite specimen tree for spectacular fall foliage! Branches form a nicely shaped, umbrella-like crown of lustrous green, pinnately divided foliage that turns brilliant orange-crimson to scarlet as autumn progresses. This non-fruiting male cultivar is an excellent choice as a shade tree for lawns, or for use as a street tree. Deciduous.
