Schinus molle peeling bark ?


Does anyone know if the schinus molle should have peeling bark?  I was re-staking mine and I noticed the bark is peeling at the base of the trunk.  I didn't notice any borers or insect damage.  It is turning out to be such a nice tree - it even flowered this summer and has a few new flower clusters again - it didn't set any fruit though - I hope it will be ok.
 
Also does anyone know if the peppers are edible?  I had eaten them before and now I see on a couple of sites that the berries are not to be eaten?
 
thanks in advance for any information.
