Maude Grieve's Herbal sez:

"The bushes yielding the resin do not grow more than 9 feet in
height, but they are of sturdy build, with knotted branches, and
branchlets that stand out at right-angles, ending in a sharp spine.
The trifoliate leaves are scanty, small and very unequal, oval and
entire. It was first recognized about 1822 at Ghizan on the Red
Sea coast, a district so bare and dry that it is called 'Tehama,'
meaning 'hell.'"

So I would hazard a guess that it wouldn't grow here in the US,
with the exception of certain portions of Texas right now.
