The Pink Peppercorn Plant:

These are not true "peppercorns", but similar tasting berries often called Pink Peppercorns, Peruvian pepper, Baies Rose Plant, or Peppertree (Schinus molle) that is native to South America.

The Baies Rose plant is a small tree that has numerous compound leaves with slender, symmetrical, leaflets on each side of the leaf.

The peppercorns form in clusters on the tips of the branches and can be from white, at an immature age, to pink or even a dark red. Like its cousin the mango (Anacardiaceae family), this plant can also cause allergies.

Schinus terebinthifolius, or the Brazilian peppertree, is a closely related species whose berries are also sold as pink peppercorns in some areas. This pink pepper plant, like Sch. molle, is also a small tree when fully grown. The biggest difference between it and Sch. molle is their compound leaves. The Leaves of Sch. terebinthifolius have fewer leaflets and they are more stubby and rounded, the veins on the leaves are also light green. It has an appearance similar to that of holly and is sometimes used as a substitute for it. Schinus terebinthifolius grows wildly in only a couple of parts of the United States, mostly low lying areas with plentiful water such as wetlands. The branches of this sort of tree intertwine to form a thick barrier that blocks light from reaching surrounding plants. Its berries are almost identical to that of its close relative Schinus molle.

Family: Anacardiaceae

Genus: Schinus

Species: molle, terebinthifolius, aroeira
