Will survive some frost. Nothing will grow under this tree because of the oils that exude from the leaves.
Native to Peru, this evergreen tree has pinnately compound aromatic leaves and pink/red berries which are sometimes sold as pink peppercorns (although it is not related to true pepper). Some allergies have been reported when ingesting the berries. The leaves are feathery in appearance and the tree has a glossy overall appearance in fall and winter.
