The Mastic Tree is a shrub of 1 to 4m, with persistent lanceolate leaves. It is found in the arid areas of the Mediterranean basin. Also known as the “mastic tree,” it gets this name from the very fragrant gum that is extracted from its trunk.
This gum has been used since antiquity. It is still used in confectionery and in the production of liqueurs. From its branches, aromatic hydrosol and essential oil are extracted.
