Hi. I found a volunteer tree or shrub growing in my back yard and hope
someone can help identify it for me.

Schinus molle. aka California pepper plant, pink pepper

I have a couple of these that I've grown from seed that I "aquired"
while visiting Bakersfield in July.

Thanks, Steve!

I didn't know if you were right or not, but after checking out some websites
I learned that the entire plant is fragrant. I crushed one of the dropped
leaves and it smelled of pepper!

Does it do well in a container? Does it produce fruit?

Thanks again,
