Tapiscia sinensis seed

LATIN NAME: Tapiscia sinensis

COMMON NAME: False Pistache

The false pistache sends up the slender, upright crown with the pinnate leaves and the small, greenish-yellow flowers in the drooping clusters, and the whole tree carries the fine, airy look of the autumn garden. The slender, deciduous tree carries the large, pinnate leaves with the many oval, pointed, toothed leaflets, the leaves turning the fine, clear yellow in the autumn, and the small, greenish-yellow flowers in the long, drooping clusters through the late spring, one of the fine, quiet sights of the garden, drawing the bees, to be followed by the small, round, fleshy, reddish-black fruits. The fine, light wood has a very long record as the fine, light wood of the old workshops, and the tree is a fine, historic presence of the autumn garden. It is a tree of the open, sunny, deep, rich, moist, well-drained ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The false pistache is a historic subject of the plant science, and the drooping clusters keep showing up in the work on the autumn trees. The way the small, greenish-yellow flowers form in the long, drooping clusters has been studied at length, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the autumn trees, the pinnate leaves and the members of the tapiscia family. The clear yellow leaves and the airy habit have also made it a fine study tree, and the false pistache is a regular subject of the work on the drooping clusters of the cool world.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

The false pistache is a fine, quiet tree of the autumn garden and the study collection. The large, pinnate leaves with the many oval, pointed, toothed leaflets turn the fine, clear yellow in the autumn, one of the fine, quiet sights of the garden, drawing the bees, and the fine, light wood has a very long record as the fine, light wood of the old workshops, the light wood coming to the fine, small articles and the boxes of the old workshops, while the small, greenish-yellow flowers in the long, drooping clusters open through the late spring, to be followed by the small, round, fleshy, reddish-black fruits. It is one of the fine choices for the garden, the avenue and the study collection, and it has been written about in the botanical and the forestry papers for the clear yellow leaves and the very long history. It is a fine, quiet tree of the open, sunny, deep, rich, moist, well-drained garden.

The false pistache seeds start well in a light soil in a cold frame, kept evenly moist. The young trees are hardy once they root, and they do best in the deep, rich, moist ground of the open garden.

To grow the false pistache from seed, sow the small, round, brown seeds evenly a centimetre down in the tray of fine, sandy soil, keep the tray in a bright, open spot and water gently, then pot the young trees on as they fill the pot. The seedlings push through within a few weeks and grow on steadily. With the sun and the deep, rich, moist, well-drained ground, the slender crown will rise over the years.

It is endemic to China. It is threatened by habitat loss.
