A couple of seeds germinated, and have been growing well. Slow - they're less than foot tall after several months, but I dont know the growth rates or habit of this tree. They are 2 nice little pot plants for now. i'm pleased with them so far.Click Here to see more reviews about: California Pepper Tree 20 Seeds-Schinus-Tropical/Bonsai
Product Description:
This fast-growing ornamental tree reaches up to 30' tall, has graceful weeping branches and feathery pinnate leaves, and produces clusters of attractive rose/red aromatic berries. With time, the trunk becomes an enhancing gnarled feature as with an aged olive tree. Subtropical. Easily grown indoors. Also makes a great bonsai!
All parts of the tree have high oil and essential oil contents that produce a spicy, aromatic scent. The leaves of the pepper tree have such a high oil content that leaf pieces jerk and twist when placed in hot water as the oil is released. The berries, which have a peppery flavor, are used in syrups, vinegar, and beverages in Peru; are added to Chilean wines; and are dried and ground up for a pepper substitute in the tropics. The dried berries have also been used as an adulterant of black pepper in some countries.
Proper name: Schinus molle.
