Mastic Trees

Mastic Trees (Pistacia) - Summer-leafing and evergreen trees, generally not hardy enough in England to be of much value in our gardens. Mr Bean mentions P. Terebinthus and P. Chinensis as adapted to our climate. The latter is rarely seen thriving. These two may be grown in the open ground. P. Lenticus, an evergreen shrub, or small tree, occasionally 15 to 20 feet high, is a native of the Mediterranean region, and produces the resinous substance known as mastic. It is tender in England, needing the protection of a warm wall.

Pistacia Vera - A small summer-leafing tree, 20 feet high, with reddish oval fruit, is a native of the Levant and W. Asia. It needs the protection of a warm wall, and even then is occasionally injured by cold.
