FyliuDid you grow from seeds?I can't find anywhere to get trees so even though I know all the pitfalls of growing from seeds and how it will take any years it might be my only option:'(
Hi, I have 150 trees and produce in Greece pistachios. Grafting helps to give you fruits sooner and open shells. For pistachios it is very important to graft and also to have more female than male as the ratio is 1 male for 30 female...
Hello,It mainly depends of your location and what you are looking for.Usually american varieties are more productive and shell is also more open. But taste is really poor. Iranian and greek varieties are well adapted to dry area, they do not need much water and are the most tasty. I grow Aigina variety the greek AOP and have planted in another area more wet Peter and Kerman plants I got from Italy, less tasty in my opinion.
I 'll have some trees for sale in some weeks of Aigina variety, but only greek ones, grafted on selected variety high dried conditions resistant . Pistachio grafting success is very low (45-60%)..
