  • Vital, high-yielding variety from Cyprus. Its medium-sized, elongated fruits belong to the highest quality varieties, which is why confectioneries also like to use it. 
  • Experts consider its fruits to be one of the tastiest varieties in the whole world! It is classified as an early blooming and early maturing variety. 
  • We can expect its flowering at the end of March and the beginning of April, while the harvest is in the middle and end of September. 
  • The male variety Peters   
  • is suitable for pollination
  • USDA Zones 7a-9b   
  • General information: It is a deciduous tree from western and central Asia with a dry climate, which is now cultivated in desert and semi-desert areas of subtropical and temperate regions of the world. 
  • Due to climate change processes and trends, it is increasingly challenging for agriculture to provide the right amount of quality irrigation water, so the importance and popularity of drought-tolerant species is expected to grow. 
  • Pistachios are perfectly suitable for this, as their yield is not significantly affected by the summer drought. This is a long-lived species that reaches its peak harvest from about 15 years of age and can be maintained for up to a century with proper care. 
  • It is dioecious, so male (stamen) and female (fruit) individuals are needed for production, and plantations plant 1 stamen for every 10-15 fruits. 
  • The flowers have no petals, are unisexual and bloom in grape-like racemes. The seeds are covered with an inedible, hard, cream-colored shell that is covered by a fleshy, thin light green shell that turns red when ripe. 
  • One of the most popular delicacies in the world is not only tasty, but also at least as healthy! It is particularly rich in trace elements, minerals and, last but not least, vitamins. 
  • Thanks to the high content of vitamins A, B and E, it is a real antioxidant bomb! 
  • Thanks to all this, it reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, acts as a preventive against cancer and strengthens our immune system!
