An experiment was carried out in Khatam region, Yazd province, Iran from 2008–2016 where two popular pistachio rootstocks and one interstock were evaluated with one male scion to synchronize flowering period of the late flowering ‘Akbari’ as female and medium flowering ‘M1’ as male. In this experiment, ‘Badami-e-Zarand’ (B) and ‘Fandoghi’ (F) were used as rootstocks and ‘Akbari’ (A) as interstock and three grafting combinations were examined including B/M1, F/M1 and B/A/M1. In terms of flowering time, our results showed that the B/A/M1 combination could delay the flowering in male genotype and make an overlap of 6 days between flowering period of ‘Akbari’, as female and M1 as male pistachio (24–29 March). Rootstocks had no significant effect on flowering time of M1. Pollen tube length and growth rate was influenced by different grafting combinations while pollen germination percentage was similar between treatments.
