Pistacia (Mastic tree) – The Cornerstone of Volume and Structure. Pistacia (Mastic tree) is one of the hardest working and most popular greeneries in floristry. Its branches with small, glossy, and very sturdy leaves are the ideal "building material" for florists. It gives bouquets rich volume and a bright green, fresh texture.
Florist's Expert View: A Firm and Durable Base As florists, what we value most about Pistacia is its firmness and incredible durability. It is the perfect greenery for creating the "base" or foundation of the entire bouquet. Its leaves do not wilt and hold their shape, providing perfect support for the other flowers.
Tip from florist Bára (Design Expert) "Pistacia is my favourite for flower boxes. When I create an arrangement in a box, I need a firm yet elegant base that fills the space and holds the flowers in place. Pistacia is perfect for that. It creates a wonderful 'green cushion' into which the flowers can then be beautifully arranged."
Use in Floristry Thanks to its structure and durability, Pistacia is ideal for:
-
Mixed bouquets (as a base for volume)
-
Flower boxes (forms the basic structure)
-
Seasonal and festive decorations
-
Funeral arrangements (for its durability and discreet look)
