Atlantic pistacias are impressive trees – their great size, wide trunks and gnarled branches make them easy to identify from the eastern Galilee and down to the Negev Highlands where they grow. Their massive trunks are sometimes attacked by beetle larvae that consume the tree from inside leaving only the large, hollow trunk.
