Hi Anthony, It depends on your location. In cooler climates it would still be better not to prune in the fall. In warmer climates it isn't as important for the trees to harden off before winter.

Is it a Chinese Pistache tree?

@@groverlandscapeservices3180 Yes, it is.

I will tell them hi for you :)

Yes they will survive, there's a place in Tucson Arizona where they grow this trees, they are heat tolerant, one of my neighbors here in Phoenix Az has a red push pistache 😍❤ and I just bought one to plant in front of my house 😁

The berries are not toxic, but they are not edible for humans.

Haven't got around to it yet. Thanks for the reminder :D

@@groverlandscapeservices3180 We need to see the 16 foot Jacobson and the the 37HP 72" Diesel Lazer Z

That's interesting. Why don't you email [email protected] with some pictures and I will have an arborist take a look.

It definitely makes it safer and easier, but it destroys the thrill of climbing. :)

I am not for sure about that, but I would be all for it! The Pistach trees do not lift up the sidewalks like the Ash trees do.

Thanks for watching!

Come check out our nursery from the ground level! :)

Thanks for watching!

The tree will need to be injected with an antibiotic. If you live in the Mid Central Valley of California we would be happy to provide this service to you, if not, call your local professional tree service and they should be able to help you out. Good Luck!! -AG

Beebop, Sorry to hear about your Sunset Maple, but you are right, a Chinese Pistache would be a great replacement! While a bigger box tree will create shade a little faster, (~1-2 years faster than a 15 gallon tree) there are a couple questions to consider: how much money are you willing to spend in purchasing the tree, and would you like to plant the tree yourself? If you purchase a 24 inch box tree it will be more expensive and may be too difficult to plant yourself. With canopy growth rates around 2 feet per year, the Chinese Pistache should produce a suitable amount of shade within 10 years. Good luck on your tree :) -AG

Grover Landscape Services I'm willing to spend up to $1,500 for a big tree to be planted by a company. I have a great company down the road that has both to offer. It will have to be this fall before I can get it though.

Knowing your budget and that you are going to have a professional plant your tree, we would recommend looking into a 36" box tree or bigger. Your local nursery may not use boxes but instead use gallons, if they do you could request a 95 gallon tree.

Maria, The leaf scorch that was referenced in the video is the result of a bacterial disease and not from the sun. The Chinese Pistache tree enjoys full sun and grows at a medium rate of 13"-24" per year. It is difficult to say how old your tree is due to the variable growth conditions, but it is most likely around one year old. Hopefully your transplant does well!
