Yes, it does look like it. A couple of weeks ago I noticed some leaves were starting to turn here and there. We were still in July and I couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing. Then last week I saw these pistachio trees near my house! They seem to be one of the harbingers of Fall. On this same day I saw wild turkeys and deer, so yep, Fall is in the air. The nights are definitely chillier but the days are still way hotter than I enjoy.
It has been cool here but all of a sudden it is hot. Will be 85-90 the next few days. It’s been in the 70’s. The tomatoes in my garden are just ripening but almost everything else is about done.
They sure will….. there are huge numbers of them even though it is only two plants. I suspect the food bank will benefit too. Or at least friends will.
A pistachio tree, you say? It sounds ridiculous, but I never realised pistachio nuts grew on trees – I assumed ground-covering shrubbery, for some reason.
Yes the nuts do grow on trees and this tree is a Chinese pistache. These don’t produce the nuts and the ones around here don’t usually bear the little fruit either. They are used a lot along streets and in new developments. Hardy, drought tolerant and can handle frost. And… they are absolutely spectacularly vibrant in the Fall 🙂
