Chinese Pistache is a deciduous ornamental tree known for its structured canopy and seasonal foliage color. Pistacia chinensis is commonly grown in landscape plantings and yards for shade and fall color interest.

This tree develops a rounded, umbrella-like canopy with dark green compound leaves that turn red, orange, and yellow in fall before entering winter dormancy. It performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and is adaptable to dry conditions once established.
