Pistachios growing at Eagle Ranch, Alamogordo, New Mexico, which sells the nuts under the Heart of the Desert brand. Both male and female trees are needed, but only the female tree (right) produces nuts. The orchard is irrigated every few days by drip irrigation with the small black hoses. As a desert plant, pistachios need much less water than pecans, which are also extensively grown in the New Mexico desert. | |
