That certainly is discouraging. I didn't realize Pistache trees are grafted. I am now wondering if I actually DID manage to get a cutting to root - would it even survive in Texas' often brutal summers with the natural root of the Pistache tree.

The Pistache tree is a male tree, so seeds are not an option. I could actually PURCHASE a Pistache tree, but risk getting a tree with not-so-brilliant coloration, as individual trees often have completely different fall colors. It appears I am going to have to rethink this problem.

Are you CERTAIN Pistache trees are grafted onto another root stock? I have no idea what my root stock options would be. Do you have suggestions? I may have bitten off more than I can chew regarding this project. Sighing!
