Here I am, again, checking out my pistachio nut trees. If we get them as soon as they ripen, the nuts have green flesh, like an avocado, with a rather milky--should I say buttery?--texture. I heard that they are starting to sell green pistachio nuts, in that green and milky stage, in the specialist fruit shops in Sydney. Our tree is quite heavily laden with ripening pistachio nuts at the moment. I let the branches from below the graft grow out of curiosity, and because it amused me. Now, I not only have a fruiting pistachio, but some other sort of pistachio relative. The strange relative is more evergreen and with glossy leaves and has nuts more like the Chinese Pistache tree. I do like how the skins of pistachio nuts smell like mango. It's nice to have such a pleasant connection to the fruits of the tropics in a dry inland place like this. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
