My books say pistachio can be grown in zone 7-9. If there are places in 
Nevada in that range, then go for it.The Banana Tree in Easton Pa. has 
seed (215-253-9589). Copacabana in Moraga Ca has tropicals 
(415-2542302), Forest Farm in Oregon may have it (503-846-6963), Lawyer 
Nursery has seed (406-826-3881), Louisiana Nursery may have plants 
(318-948-3696) and Neon Palm in Santa Rosa (707-578-7467) is worth a try.

Mulberry is likely to do well, jujube is zone 6-10 and has potential, 
sea buckthorn can take the cold but I don't know about dry, goumi isvery 
hardy, olive is zone 9-10.
