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.
