Red Berry Tree on I-5 in 2009 01-07-12


This tree was at a rest stop on I-5 between Yreka and Sacramento in December 2009, I have never been able to identify it.
For those who don't read comments:  Laurie has id'd this as a Chinese Pistache and gives this reference: http://cambreenotes.com/chinese-pistache-pistachio-tree-and-berries/
Thanks for your help Laurie.



 
It was covered with these red seed pods.

    Hi Del,

    I have one like this in my back yard. It is a tree that looses most of its leaves over a very short period, and then the lovely berries are left.

    What an unusual tree! You have the most amazing foliage in California.
