Schinus Terebinthifolia Waterfall

The Brazilian Pepper tree (Schinus terebinthifolius), native to South America, is a popular ornamental plant in warm regions but is also invasive in some areas. It grows up to 40 feet tall with dark green, glossy leaves, small white or yellow flowers, and red or black berries used in cooking and traditional medicine. Despite its strong root system causing structural damage, the tree offers benefits such as adding beauty and shade, providing medicinal berries, and sheltering wildlife. Notably, its hard and durable wood makes it excellent for furniture building and woodworking projects, providing an attractive and long-lasting material for crafting high-quality furniture pieces.
