If you use mulch and drip irrigation, you could retain water and use less overall

Is it sweet?

if Americans eat more American pistachios than Iranian, it's better for the American economy so yes, Politics should "poison" public health. ;)

pistachio was first planted in usa by the great great grandfather of donald trump, you deny? trump gonna put further restriction on iran.

How come there always has to be some arrogance with regard to one's native land? The English-speaking world are the lands of The Tribe of Joseph of the Bible, who got the birthright. We, like Joseph, help the rest of the world, though the God of Abraham has given us MORE than the rest of the world. Stuff the politics and go with brotherly kindness and humility: then ask yourself why the sons of Abraham have to criticize his other children... Joseph got the birthright without stealing it. He was Israel's favorite, firstborn of Rachel, whom Israel loved. Genesis 49: 22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: 23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: 24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) 25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: 26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren. (But of course, Iran is Persia, who had their part in scraping up from Belteshazzar, all the booty from the Temple in Jerusalem, after God sent her into captivity to Nebuchadnezzar. Alexander the Great took care of Persia for Him. History helps us to understand where we stand in this modern world. Let's not grieve our Maker.)

@@theniteknight9908 Yes, last 2 verses of Daniel 10. First Persia, then the last prince of Grecia (Dan.8) "will come"...last President of USA - who is that? Dunno yet...

What's the difference between Turkish and Syrian pistachio?

Wrong information.

Larger trees, they say, are the males...that is needful I think so that they are already taller and larger than the female trees when they are ready to be pollinated. He said the ratio was 1 male to 5 female. That probably depends on how they are planted in the orchard.

Dumb ass Pistachio is native to middle east and domesticated in Iran. Has been used as food before civilization reaches Africa. I assume you are a racist idiot black.

Didn't it originate in Turkey?

Greece and Italy are Europe, but yes, the Middle East: Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi, etc.

Greece, Italy and middle east are very close, It's the region, i think you are an idiot!

@@m7floyd Dumb ass Italy is close to Iraq? Get a life moron.

@@antepurfafstgmuhittincoban4055 Pistacio is domesticated in Eastern and Central Iran where still it grows in the wild. If you dont know something, dont try to spread your ignorance.

Sorry people in NM are not very educated.

Ghazy Sabh: thank you Mr Ghazy, very good information.

Pistachio where first domesticated in Iran. It is native to Iran and centeral Asia. Later was carried to Syria.

Honestly, you people: none of you were in Eden. The first pistachio came from Almighty God, who planted it on Day 3 of Creation week. Bible doesn't say where He planted it. The earth was no desert at that time.
