Thank you so very much. I've just collected a huge bag of red and brown seeds. Wasted effort was saved thanks to your generous sharing. I'll head back out to the trees to see if I can find some blue ones. Come spring, how do I 'stratify' those seeds before planting?
I like the videos. I have Dirr's book and it mentions if you soak them in water for 3 or 4 days and allow to ferment (like cucumber seeds) the coat will come off and the red ones float to the top and the good blue ones are sinkers. less work is always invited
Great news about the seeds. I found that the trees need pruning when they are young to ensure good shape and branching. They can be leggy and can grow taller than people expect. They handle the heat well. The jujube tree is also Chinese and is an invasive bear. The thorns make briars look mild. Do the seeds ever mold in the baggy? Thanks for the video.
They are nice trees, This is my first year to grow these, I will keep an eye on them for mold or fungus, Will check them every few weeks through the winter. There is a JuJube tree in my neighborhood where i Jog, They are cool but VERY messy when they drop fruit!
How can you tell male from female on these pistache trees once your seed sprouts? And is the female a better one to grow? Also which comes first the red seed or blue ? Thank you very much I have a adult tree and I want more we love it.

I may try another group this way as an experiment, Plant some from each method and see which one gets best results, Thanks
Thank you! I planted two of these trees near my pool..looking forward to trying to collect the seeds. Palmdale, CA
Love the videos. Please continue
Thanks, will have a follow up to these soon.
this is great thank you! i bought a tree for bonsai and wanted to learn how to propegate this tree, and this helps!

Suggestion use a pill cutter
Thats a great idea, I am about to collect some more soon, I will try that!
I’m going to try to do the pistachio seeds, but I’m going to use a pill cutter to half the seeds!
