I love when I see other people interested in Flora as much I do. Plants are a very strong way to connect with the world around us and time. I remember when I was 12 coming out my middle school and on the way home there was a Schinus molle that my friend from mexico would tell me how you can eat the berries and were really similar in taste to pomegranates.

Cool!

Found one in Cape Town, South Africa when I was out for a walk. I picked a few handfuls to investigate and found your video telling me it's okay to eat. It looks similar to my pink pepper corns I bought at the store. Just wanted to make sure I'm not eating poisonous berries by mistake. I tasted the berries from the tree and they also taste the same as the store bought pink peppercorn. Thanks!

I like the "shell" part...but just for sucking on it then spitting it out 'cuz it gets stuck in my throat....also, mixing with some water to make something like lemonade.

[@bboyrsa7594]

@@battlefoxx Interesting, I will give it a try.

Thank you for such an informative video! I came to KZbin to see if I can identify “what kind of peppercorn tree” is growing outside my window, and this is exactly it! Now I’ll be looking up “Peruvian Pepper Tree”. Thanks again!!

[@battlefoxx]

Yay. Confusing sometimes between the Peruvian (Californian) and Brazilian...until you dig into the details.

Yay!

[@rencarb3045]

Well it reminds me of pepper medley

[@battlefoxx]

I have heard the Peruvian peppercorn is a bit better than the Brazilian peppercorn...is that true?

[@Chrissmithers9]

Thank you!!!!

[@battlefoxx]

It is my pleasure. Have a wonderful day.

[@raphlvlogs271]

the seeds can also be used as slingshot ammo.

[@battlefoxx]

good idea

[@raphlvlogs271]

what USDA zones are they hardy to?

[@wolfgurl88]

I have this tree in my front yard and I'm wondering if I can use the leaves to make a salve to rub onto wounds for my pets. I have a rabbit that has fur mites and ear mites and I'm looking for a natural solution

[@battlefoxx]

There is no scientific evidence the Peppertree will help. But, there are good herbal remedies you can make with regular rosemary and sages and a few other plants. "Herbal repellents work well to repel fleas. Make an herbal infusion by adding a handful of dried herbs (available in most health food stores) to a tea pot and fill with boiling water. Let the “tea” set overnight, and then strain it into a spray bottle. Recommended herbs include southernwood, rue, rosemary, sage, catmint, eucalyptus, and leaves from the black walnut tree. Start with just a small amount to make sure the pet can tolerate the herb."

[@buzzardscry1383]

Got one behind my backyard wall. Annoying. But I am gonna eat it's peppers

[@battlefoxx]

i have some behind a community slope at my house that keeps shooting up roots in my backyard planter beds.

[@raine5508]

Are the leaves edible

[@battlefoxx]

I don't think so (at least for most people). They can cause some dermatitis problems or other allergic type reactions. So, I don't recommend it....but go for it with the seeds.

[@raine5508]

@@battlefoxx I drank it as tea 👌🏿
