Is it a pepper tree? Schinus molle? @nej @deekay

@brightcolours it does look very much like a pepper tree

My Nan used to have those we called them peppercorn trees. They used to get the most beautiful blue and green chubby caterpillars on them 😄 Emperor gum moth caterpillars

Thanks @brightcolours, @nej & @deekay 😊 Will look out for caterpillars, if any on the peppercorn tree. Always intriguing finding them. Something has been feeding on the berries.

I just remembered if you really want to make sure it's a pepper tree rub the leaves and it should have a strong pepper scent
