Description

The California Pepper is a fast-growing evegreen tree that will mature to a height of 25-40' and as wide. Its bright green leaves are divided into many narrow, 1 1/2-2" long leaflets. If your property is adjacent to a channel, please consider NOT planting Schinus as it can end up clogging the channel. Eventually, it will overtake a small front or back yard because of its size.
