The C.V.S. Tree

 Waiting in line at the drug store drive-thru, I saw this tree at the edge of the parking lot. Wow, it really amazed me with it's color and beauty!



It had tiny berries on it, too.


After some research, I found out it is likely a Pistacia chinensis.



And shortly later, the sunset perfectly matched the tree.



Pistacia Chinensis It is native to China, and is a member of the cashew family. Easy to grow and draught tolerant. Resistant to pests and diseases and prized for it’s beautiful foliage. I want one now!

Love it. That's what the name of the tree in our front yard is too. Our neighbor calls it a pistachio tree. We are still waiting for it to turn that glorious brilliant red color. A few more nights of chilly temperatures will give it a final boost.

What a pretty tree with gorgeous color! I have seen this type of tree before. We are still having so much color where I live. What a lovely sunset you saw afterwards. I miss CVS, I used to have one in my old town. It had lots of good stuff always.

Have a restful weekend, Ginny.

This is one of my favorite trees in the Fall, from down at the Farm. Sam grows thousands of them and seeing them this time of the year, growing in rows is quite stunning. Love the orange skies and the orange flaming colors of the tree.
