    1. Hello, Lea. This is the Peruvian pepper (Schinus molle, also known as American pepper, Peruvian peppertree, escobilla, false pepper) is an evergreen tree that grows to 15 meters (50 feet). It is native to the Peruvian Andes. The bright pink fruits of Schinus molle are often sold as "pink peppercorns" although S. molle is unrelated to true pepper (Piper nigrum).

  4. Our house is surrounded by a few really large pepper trees. They are really beautiful but incredibly messy. I have never considered eating the little berries... Wonder what they taste like.
