Primary origin of pistachio trees

Karadouv (French scientists) says pistachios are native to Iran, Saudi Arabia and Syria.

Different theories have been expressed in the encyclopedia: In the Encyclopedia Britannica, native Iranian pistachios have been introduced. In the American encyclopedia from West Asia, in Larus from Asia Minor, in the Persian encyclopedia of the Middle East and the Mediterranean, in Al-Munajjid from Turkestan, it is mentioned as the origin of the pistachio tree.

Iranian writers also have different opinions about the origin of pistachios. Some consider the history of pistachios in Iran to be four thousand years. Some consider its main homeland to be the borders of Afghanistan, Iran and Turkey, and some consider its transfer (from these Asian countries) to Europe to coincide with the birth of Christ. Some have written the history of pistachios in Iran for five thousand years, in Qazvin for 1600 years, and in Ardakan for 300 years, and say that in 1200 years ago, pistachios were taken from Iran to Italy by the Arabs.
