Cover Story: Pistachio cultivation is expanding in Spain, particularly in regions such as Castilla y León, where the availability of water and the necessity for winter chilling are not limiting factors. This study investigates the status of pistachio cultivation in Castilla y León and examines the phenology and performance of three cultivars: 'Kerman', 'Lost Hills', and 'Golden Hills'. The results demonstrated that 'Kerman' produced higher yields, but with a greater proportion of non-split nuts. Bloom and harvest times varied among cultivars, while increasing water applied enhanced production but affected nut quality. Heat accumulation was sufficient to complete the growth cycle in all seasons. View this paper
