Re: Schinus terebinthifolius

Did anyone respond to you Pamela?  If not, here's the poop - in California, it is extremely invasive and problematic in the garden.  Roots are right at the surface so you can't grow anything under or near it.  Drops leaves like crazy.  Needs constant pruning.  Just a big pain in the patoot.  Nice looking, but not worth the trouble.

Has anyone in the Med countries had experience (good or bad ) of Schinus terebinthifolius.  I would like to plant one but I am reading a lot negative comments (invasiveness etc)  especially from California/Florida.  Plants don't appear to become invasive here (Costa Blanca).
