Mastic trees, Pistacia lentiscus, are medium-sized trees useful as a 'living fence' for privacy and thanks to its thick, year-round canopy can be a noise filter solution. Their hedge quality is one of the many things that make this tree so attractive. Native to the Mediterranean, this evergreen tree thrives in the heat with little or no water. Once established, it needs no water! Mastic trees do not litter making it a great choice around swimming pools and water fountains. This extreme drought tolerance, and its ability to tolerate any soil condition, make it a top choice for a wide range of landscapes across the Western United States.
A very slow grower, we recommend buying a larger size for instant curb appeal and value. Moon Valley Nurseries has been growing Mastic Trees on our farms for decades and is ready to thrive in your landscape!
Fun fact: this ancient tree is mentioned in the Bible and its resin has been used as gum, and balm and can be utilized for many medicinal purposes.
No matter how you use this cold-hardy beauty, it's sure to enhance your property. Speak with a Moon Valley Nurseries professional for placement ideas. Be sure to plant with our Moon Valley Nurseries fertilizers for spectacular results! You buy it, we plant it!
