Pistacia lentiscus: characteristics and care
The Pistacia lentiscus, popularly known as mastic tree, is a perennial shrub native to the Mediterranean basin that stands out for its intense and bright green foliage, very resistant and with dense and compact growth.
Its hardiness and adaptation to the Mediterranean forest make it a highly valued option for low-maintenance gardening, natural hedges and revegetation.
It tolerates drought, wind and poor and calcareous soils very well, being one of the most resistant species of the Mediterranean scrubland.
At Ornacom, we carefully select each plant for balanced growth, good structure and vigorous development.
