It is [[hardy]], can withstand harsh conditions and poor quality [[soil]]s, and grows from 9-15 m, exceptionally up to 25 m.<ref name=eFloras>{{cite journal| author= | title=Pistacia chinensis Bunge, Enum.

The [[flower]]s are produced in [[panicle]]s 15-20 cm long at the ends of the branches; it is [[plant sexuality|dioecious]], with separate male and female plants. The [[fruit]] is a small red [[drupe]], turning blue when ripe, containing a single [[seed]]. This species is planted as a street tree in temperate areas worldwide due to its attractive fruit and autumn foliage.

Petioles minutely pubescent, flattened above; leaf blade imparipinnately compound with 1-13 opposite leaflets; leaf rachis striate, minutely pubescent; petiolule 1-2 mm; leaflet blade lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, or rarely linear-lanceolate, 5-10 × 1.5-2.5 cm, papery, base oblique, margin entire, apex acuminate or long acuminate, on both sides minutely pubescent along midrib and lateral veins and with prominent venation.
