Re: Propagating the Pepper Tree (Schinus Molle)

In California, where they can become a weed, they seem not to be as drought tolerant as first appears - they grow in the wild mainly where there is an underground water source or in swails where water runs past them.  People who have had them in yards and thought they did not need any water, have been amazed that what they thought was a dying diseased tree, came back to life after some deep watering.
