Pistacia lentiscus aka Lentisk

Pistacia lentiscus, also known as lentisk or mastic, is a dioecious evergreen shrub or small tree native to the Mediterranean Basin. It can grow up to 4 meters tall and is primarily cultivated for its aromatic resin. The plant has pinnate, leathery green leaves that are divided into up to 7 pairs of leaflets. It produces small flowers in late spring and early summer, with male plants having reddish flowers in dense clusters and female plants having looser clusters of brownish green flowers. If pollinated, the plant produces small round reddish fruits that eventually ripen to black. Pistacia lentiscus is resilient to heavy frosts and can thrive in various soil types, including limestone and saline environments. It is often found in dry and rocky areas, as well as woodlands. In some cases, it can grow into a tree of up to 7 meters in height, but factors such as logging, grazing, and fires often restrict its growth. The leaves are alternate, leathery, and compound paripinnate, while the fruit is a small drupe that starts off red and turns black when ripe, measuring approximately 4 mm in diameter.
