Schinus Molle o Falsa Pimienta
Schinus molle, commonly known as the Peruvian Pepper Tree or False Pepper, is a graceful, evergreen tree native to South America. It is known for its weeping, pendulous branches that create a soft, feathery appearance. The bark is rough and furrowed, with a reddish-brown color that contrasts beautifully with the fine, aromatic, pinnately compound leaves. In the fall, Schinus molle produces clusters of small, yellowish-white flowers that are followed by pink to red peppercorn-like berries, which are often used as a spice known as pink peppercorns.

- Minimal pruning is needed due to its naturally attractive, weeping form.
- Fertilizing:
- Generally does not require fertilization, but a light application of a balanced fertilizer in spring can enhance growth in poor soils.
- Mulch around the base of the tree to help conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
- Pest and Disease Control:
- Schinus molle is relatively pest-resistant but can be susceptible to scale insects or root rot in poorly drained soils.
- Regular monitoring and good cultural practices, such as proper watering and spacing, will help prevent problems.
