Chinese pistache trees are "dioecious", meaning that the male and female flowers occur on separate trees. As the name suggests, the Chinese pistache originated in China and is now cultivated and planted in many countries, including the U.S. Chinese pistache trees were some of trees chosen for planting at the Oklahoma City National Memorial site.
