Schinus is a shade tree with pretty, somewhat pendulous branches and an attractive, exfoliating trunk. Its feathery foliage and bright pink berries make this a fine ornamental for water sparing gardens. If you want to start growing this trees, first be sure you have enough space in your backyard for the tree to spread to its full mature size. You will need a spot in direct sun with well drained soil. Give your trees regular irrigation until they establish extensive root systems. After that, the trees only require occasional irrigation and tree care is reduced. This makes them ideal trees for xeriscaping. In fact, overwatering this tree can lead to chlorosis as well as the production of weak branches.
