Learn About Your New Schinus molle - Peppercorn Tree
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.
