Schinus molle
Peruvian pepper (''Schinus molle'', also known as American pepper, Peruvian peppertree, escobilla, false pepper, molle del Peru, pepper tree,〔 (Archived by (WebCite ))〕 peppercorn tree, Californian pepper tree, pirul and Peruvian mastic) is an evergreen tree that grows to 15 meters (50 feet). It is native to the Peruvian Andes. The bright pink fruits of ''Schinus molle'' are often sold as "pink peppercorns" although ''S. molle'' is unrelated to true pepper (''Piper nigrum'').
== Description ==
