Exotic Fiesta in San Jose
Chinese pistache, San Jose (9/26/18) Anson Davalos
Bay Area color spotter Anson Davalos found a San Jose park draped with electric pink, yellow, orange and lime Chinese pistache, Pistacia chinensis, as if decorated for a fiesta.
The colorful trees are one of the first exotic varieties to show fall color, and carry long-lasting vibrance for weeks. Native to western and central China, it is now so common a non-native tree in California, that they are naturalizing.
