Plant Description

Schinus molle, commonly known as the Peruvian Pepper Tree or California Pepper Tree, is a fast-growing, evergreen tree native to South America. It features a graceful, weeping habit with feathery, pinnate leaves that give it a delicate, airy appearance. The tree produces clusters of small, yellow-white flowers in spring, followed by bright pink to red berries that are often mistaken for true peppercorns. The bark is gray and deeply furrowed, adding to its ornamental appeal. Schinus molle is highly drought-tolerant, making it ideal for xeriscaping and dry climates.
