4. Location and Soil:
- A. Location: Pistachio trees prefer a sunny location, receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- B. Soil: They thrive in well-draining, alkaline soil. Amend your soil with organic matter to improve drainage and nutrient content.
5. Caring for Pistachio Trees:
- A. Watering: Pistachios are drought-tolerant once established but need regular watering during their formative years. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- B. Pruning: Regular pruning is essential to maintain the tree’s shape and remove any dead or diseased branches.
- C. Fertilization: Feed the trees with a balanced fertilizer regularly to support healthy growth. Ensure the fertilizer is rich in zinc, as pistachios have a high zinc requirement.
6. Pollination:
Pistachio trees are dioecious, meaning there are separate male and female trees. To produce nuts, you will need at least one of each. It’s advisable to plant several seeds to increase the chances of having both male and female trees.
