Plant Description

Schinus terebinthifolius, also called Brazilian pepper tree, is a dense, evergreen shrub or small tree recognized for its glossy green leaves and clusters of bright red berries. Its leaves are compound, aromatic, and somewhat serrated, giving off a spicy scent when crushed. Small white flowers bloom in spring, forming abundant berries that ripen to a vibrant red in late summer and fall. Native to South America, this ornamental tree is prized for its colorful fruit, often used as a festive decoration, though it’s invasive in some warm regions due to its vigorous growth.
