Pistachio Nut Company has partnered with HortAfrique, a well-established commercial nursery

located in Simondium/Paarl with a capacity of more than 150 000 trees per annum.

​

Experience in the harsh climate of South Africa has shown that the successful establishment of a pistachio orchard requires a sturdy high quality tree, already budded to variety, which is a primary objective of our team.

​

Current rootstocks available are Clone II, an Pistacia integerrima sub-selection as well as UCB-1, a cross between Pistacia atlantica and Pistacia integerrima. 

​

Both rootstocks has excellent disease resistance, cold tolerance and vigorous growth, with the Integrimma more suitable for marginal soils as it has a higher salienty tolerance.

​

There are currently a waiting list and trees must be reserved as soon as possible.
