Schinus molle, commonly known as the Peruvian Pepper Tree, False Pepper, or California Pepper Tree, is a graceful, evergreen tree native to South America. Known for its arching, feathery foliage, attractive pink berries, and drooping branches, it offers ornamental beauty along with drought tolerance and adaptability. A favorite in Mediterranean-style landscapes, urban plantings, and arid-region gardens, Schinus molle is both hardy and visually striking.
