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.

I'd be delighted to exchange bud wood and scion wood. Let me know when would be the best time to collect them and whether there is any special method. Since yours is proven cold hardy would that not be a good rootstock? Do you suppose it would root easily?
