Re: Schinus terebinthifolius

Mature trees are also difficult to get rid of. I cut down one and it revenged itself by sending up copious root shoots up to twenty feet away.

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).

In Western Australia it's proscribed as a weed for the same reasons .....
