Pistacia terebinthus in California?

Hi,
 
I have a friend who is trying a recipe that uses the berries of Terebinth tree, Pistacia terebinthus. It's a very common tree in Turkey, and as it's so drought tolerant I expected it would be fairly common in California, but I can't find any mention of it in any online catalogues I've searched. That leads me to wonder if it's an invasive there?
