Schinus molle, commonly known as the Peppercorn Tree, is a striking evergreen that brings a distinctive, weeping appearance to landscapes with its long, drooping branches and narrow, light green leaves. Originating from South America, this tree is renowned for its aromatic qualities and clusters of pinkish berries that resemble peppercorns. These berries are often used as a spice and are popular in various culinary applications. Schinus molle can grow quite large, making it an excellent choice for providing shade and ornamental interest in larger gardens or parks.
Common Name: Peppercorn Tree
Mature Height (meters): 10-15m
Mature Width (meters): 8-12m
Spacing: Should be planted at least 10m away from structures and other trees due to its expansive root system
Foliage: Narrow, light green leaves
Flowering period: Produces small white flowers in spring, followed by pinkish berries
Form/ Habit: Weeping, rounded canopy
Uses: Shade tree, ornamental, aromatic garden
Evergreen/ Deciduous: Evergreen
Tolerates: Drought tolerant once established
Sun: Full sun
Maintenance: Low; occasional pruning to maintain shape and remove unwanted growth
Water requirement: Low once established; prefers deep, infrequent watering
Additional Useful Information:
- Soil Preference: Adaptable to a variety of soil types but prefers well-drained soils. Tolerant of both acidic and alkaline conditions.
- Fertilizing: Minimal fertilization required. If growth seems sluggish, a balanced, slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early spring.
- Pest Management: Generally pest-resistant but can occasionally be affected by scale insects. Treat any infestations with appropriate insecticidal treatments.
- Mulching: Applying a layer of mulch around the base can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, especially in younger trees.
