`Aryeh` pistachio tree

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of pistachio tree which is somewhat remotely similar to the `Kerman` pistachio tree, but from which it is distinguished in a number of respects including that it produces a high quality crop with many fewer hours of winter chilling, the configuration of the tree is more narrow and taller and by producing its crop which is mature for harvesting and shipment approximately one; week before that of the `Kerman` pistachio tree in Omer, Israel.

Having thus described and illustrated my new variety of pistachio tree, what I claim as new and desire to be secured by Plant Letters Patent is: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of pistachio tree substantially as illustrated and described which is somewhat remotely similar to the `Kerman` pistachio tree, but from which it is distinguished in a number of respects including that the trees are capable of producing a high quality crop with many fewer hours of winter chilling, the trees are more narrow and taller permitting the trees to be planted with greater density and by producing its crop which is mature for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately one week before the `Kerman` pistachio tree in Omer, Israel.
