Pepper Tree<br />
HOW IT SPREADS<br />
Seeds are highly delectable to birds and are dispersed by<br />
them. Seeds germinate freely and this tree has become a pest<br />
plant in many areas of Australia, along with the species form,<br />
S. molle.<br />

Schinus molle var. areira<br />
Snow In Summer<br />
<strong>Me</strong>laleuca linariifolia<br />
Spreading, evergreen tree<br />
originally from South America<br />
widely planted in the early years<br />
of settlement as a shade tree.<br />
Semi-weeping in habit, it has<br />
willow-like leaves and small<br />
yellow-white flowers in spring<br />
that are followed by clusters of<br />
pea-sized pinkish-red berries.<br />
These are 'bird candy'.<br />
A medium growing Australian<br />
native tree often reaches 10m<br />
in height.<br />
Prefers a site with good moisture<br />
and makes a very effective screen.<br />
The highlight is when the plant<br />
comes into flower late spring to<br />
summer.<br />
It is covered in masses of white<br />
fluffy flowers in cylindrical spikes.<br />
This tree makes a truly spectacular<br />
addition to any garden.
