Context tells you whether 'Pistazie' (pistachio / pistachio tree) refers to the edible kernel or fruit, or to the tree: 'essen' (to eat), 'schälen' (to shell), and 'backen' (to bake) indicate the edible pistachio; 'wachsen' (to grow) and 'Pistazienbäume anbauen' (to cultivate pistachio trees) indicate the plant.
Die Pistazie wird in dieser Region als Nutzpflanze angebaut.
The pistachio tree is cultivated as a crop in this region.
Eine Pistazie kann mehrere Hundert Jahre alt werden.
A pistachio tree can live for several hundred years.
For the edible kernel, expressions such as 'geröstete Pistazien' (roasted pistachios), 'gehackte Pistazien' (chopped pistachios), and 'Pistazieneis' (pistachio ice cream) are especially common. 'Pistazien zum Backen verwenden' (to use pistachios in baking) is another typical usage pattern.

The tree meaning occurs mainly in texts about agriculture, botany, or cultivation. In this context, words such as 'Pistazienbaum' (pistachio tree), 'Plantage' (plantation), 'Klima' (climate), and 'Ernte' (harvest) often appear nearby.
Ohne ein warmes, trockenes Klima trägt die Pistazie nur selten viele Früchte.
