Nice, pistachios is a great plant for usage in arid areas where other crops would either struggle or require wasteful levels of water. Not only do pistachios require a lot less water than other plants, but it can also utilize slightly brackish/saline water, which makes watering them in places like California and other coastal areas potentially far cheaper and easier without needing completely fresh water.
- brudgers 1y agoFor what it is worth, California mostly grows its pistachios in the San Joaquin Valley. There is a 40+ mile wide mountain range between the Central Valley and the Pacific. California has a long coast and a lot of people but most of the coast is sparsely populated and ranching the only significant agriculture by the sea.
