Pistachio is an important nut crop in Greece, especially in arid regions, grown in a variety of soils. Two Greek pistachio varieties have been developed, 'Aegina' and 'Pontikis', and their cultivation has been widely expanded in many Greek areas, from the north to the south in Greece. The two varieties evaluated were grafted on seedling rootstocks of Pistacia terebinthus L., cv. Tsikoudia, in the Institute of Plant Breeding & Genetic Resources, Dept, of Nut Trees, HAO-DEMETER, Lamia, Greece. Evaluation of the two varieties revealed that blooming in Aegina' variety occurs from early to mid of April, and fruit maturation at middle to late of August. Production starts at 6 to 7 year from grafting, with full production observed at year 14. Blooming and fruit maturation in Pontikis ' occurs about 2 to 4 days later than Aegina ' variety and production starts at 6 to 7 year from grafting, with full production observed at year 13. The male trees needed to produce pollen must be scattered around orchards at a percentage of 12% relative to females. Nut fruits of Aegina'and Pontikis'pistachio have ovoid shape and very attractive appearance. Fruit opening in both varieties is symmetrical and up to 3/4 of its length. Color of kernel is green externally and green to green-white internally, more green in Pontikis' relative to Aegina' variety. Ten-year old trees of both varieties gave a mean production of 10 kg of dried nuts and 25 year old trees gave a mean production of 25 kg of dried nuts with mean production 4500 kg/ha.
