'''Chinese Pistache''' (''Pistacia chinensis'') is a small to medium-sized [[tree]] native to central and western [[China]]. It is [[hardy]] and can withstand harsh conditions as well as poor quality [[soil]].
It grows from 9-15 m tall, exceptionally up to 25 m. The [[leaf|leaves]] are [[deciduous]], pinnate, 20-25 cm long, with 10 or 12 leaflets, the terminal leaflet usually (but not invariably) absent. 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]] containing a single [[seed]]. Chinese Pistache grows best in full sun, being intolerant of shade; it is the most frost-tolerant species of ''[[Pistacia]]'', tolerating temperatures down to about -25°C.
