The green gold of arid lands
Native to western Asia and grown in the semi-arid regions of the Maghreb, the Pistachio withstands scorching summers and poor soils that would defeat any other fruit tree.
It is dioecious: male and female trees are separate, and both must be planted to hope for a harvest.
"The pistachio rewards those who know how to wait several seasons."
