Scott,
I got pistachio seeds on Ebay 3 years ago. Until recently I had 2 trees growing in pots. One bit the dust while I was away but the other is thriving
at about 3 feet tall. Since I have brought them inside for winters I don't know if they would survive outside here in SW TN
Several years back Prof. Gustafson from the Univ. of Nebr. brought some pastachio seed from the northern range of China, legally. I have the only remaining specimen of that collection, to the best of my knowledge. It has survived here in Indiana for maybe 8 years, planted next to the South side of my house in a very well drained area, nearly desert conditions. It has never flowered so don't know the sexual _expression_.
Might be good genetic material for a cold hardy breeding program. Will share bud wood and scion wood.
Jerry
