Nearby were we normally have our coffee (University Hill) is a preserved Pepperina grove where the developers were obligated leave them and work an open barbecue area around them. Old and decaying limbs were removed and they are looking very trim these days.That is not to say that there aren't gaping holes and twisted, gnarly branches that make intriguing pictorial stories. Peter was drawn to this grove for a spontaneous photo session. Soon he had taken over a hundred snaps. This is something you could not do a generation ago with cellular film, unless you were mega crazy or mega rich.
The Pepperina tree's scientific name is Schinus Molle, also known as the Peruvian Peppertree, Californian Pepper, false pepper, pirul, and pepper tree. It is a shrubby tree that is a native to South and Central America, and especially, the Peruvian Andes region. It produces clusters of small berries.
