Wild Pepper Tree: January 2024 update

Pepper trees growing wilds probably isn’t as significant as I previously thought – I’ve found a couple more growing in the garden this year. Given the number of them along this neck of the Werribee River, I assume birds are eating the berries and spreading the wealth as intended.

Between a wine barrel and a pot. I’m not intending to save this one. But I haven’t uprooted it yet.

In any case, the one that I did save and bonsai grows quickly enough that I want regular pruning to get the weeping effect of the larger trees. Here’s some records from January.

Snipping happened.

I like the branching effect at the top.
Well, that’s unfortunate leaf placement.
