Pistacia Place in the suburb of Hornby, Christchurch

Pistacia Place in Hornby – Named after pistacia plants which are a variety of shrubs and small trees. Pistacia trees were approved by the Christchurch City Council as a landscaping tree to complement the Little Gem magnolias which were planted on the berms of the larger of the two roads in the Magnolia Estate subdivision. Named in 2015

A small amount of information from the library website and the street is tree lined. Houses built between 2016 and 2021 plus there are still empty sections. There is a walkway that runs behind this street which I walked to get back to my car. The houses were varied enough for the street to look OK and a few gardens but I didn’t particularly like the street. There was a weird smell here and I was wondering if it was the reserve behind the street as the reserve was a bit swampy in parts. When I walked through the reserve there wasn’t a smell so it must be something in the street. The footpath was also on only one side of the street and we all know how much I dislike this.
