However, it has not yet achieved a high level of commercial expansion for various reasons.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Very slow production.<\/strong> It starts to give fruit 5 years after plantation (full production from 10 years).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Rooting trees problems in new plantations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> High investment<\/strong> (in plant material and production technology).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> It requires knowledge and experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Pistachio development is slow, but its plant is very long-lived (estimated to last up to 300 years).<\/p>\n It has an abundant branching, a wide crown and a root system that penetrates deep (looking for water and nutritious salts).<\/p>\n For this reason, it can be successful in soils and climates where other species do not thrive. Thus, the planting frame depends on the soil type and the water available amount.<\/p>\n<\/div> Soil <\/strong>> prefers sandy loam, deep, well drained and adequate pH values.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Climate<\/strong> > temperate and dry. Its resistance to high temperatures decreases when there is excessive dryness. And it does not tolerate excess humidity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> Winds<\/strong> > Mild breezes increase fruit set and pollination, although it resists strong winds.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>Pistachio Growing<\/h1><\/div>
