Tree/Shrub ID'd by John J and Jay as Pistacia lentiscus

Hi all, I have this wild and woolly tree/shrub on our fence line and need to cut it way back but don't know what it is.
Can anyone tell from the pics?

Hi, JayB, may I suggest you take a look at the Pistacia varieties?

Hi John,
Thanks for the tip, looking into it I think it's a Mastic? Pistacia Lentiscus.

I think.
