Description

Keith Davey Chinese Pistache (Pistacia chinensis 'Keith Davey') is an outstanding deciduous shade tree prized for its brilliant fall color, strong branching structure, and fruitless growth habit. This male cultivar develops a broad, rounded canopy supported by a sturdy, upright trunk, providing generous shade in sunny landscapes. Its attractive green compound leaves transform into vibrant shades of orange, crimson, and scarlet in autumn, creating a spectacular seasonal display. Unlike female Chinese Pistache trees, 'Keith Davey' does not produce berries, making it a cleaner choice for streets, patios, parking areas, and paved spaces. Heat-tolerant and drought-tolerant once established, this dependable tree is ideal for California gardens and urban landscapes.
