Schinus molle - Peppercorn Tree

PLANT PROFILE

Schinus molle (Peppercorn Tree) looks excellent when planted as a broad, architectural feature in large open spaces such as rural driveways, paddocks, and windbreaks. Its wide, arching canopy and fine, feathery grey-green foliage create a striking, sculptural presence, providing generous shade and visual impact.

Highly drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it thrives in poor, sandy soils under full sun, making it perfect for challenging Mediterranean or semi-arid environments. The delicate white flowers in late spring and vibrant pink-red berries add seasonal interest. Pair it with low-growing native grasses or drought-resistant shrubs to create layered, naturalistic underplantings that enhance its graceful form and provide ecological value.

How to Plant:

  • Dig a hole that is the same depth as the root ball and at least twice as wide.
  • Place the tree in the hole at the correct depth.
  • Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and add mulch to conserve moisture.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
