Can anyone please help me ID this plant?
There is a large tree in my front yard and this one grew from seed.
It is an evergreen and produces small red berries each year.

Lilli Pilli?
Can you take a photo of the parent tree, and if possible could you also post a larger photo of the one you've just posted. It's not clear enough to have a good look at the leaves.

Hi Luke,
My gut feeling when I firsty saw it was Murraya, the same as Joel says, but I'm not sure about the size of some of them leave. The Murrayas I've seen were smaller than that, although maybe different var.

Re: ID Please
If it isn't that is probably is a Schinus terebinthifolius or pink or red 'pepper' tree. Your big tree does it have dark somewhat fissured bark, small sphaerical berries that have a thin dark pink red shell with a pepper like corn?

Re: ID Please
I have a Murraya (mock orange is its common name) that has leaves the same size as this, and I also have a dwarf Murraya with leaves only about 1.5 cm long. Does the parent tree get little white flowers with a strong sweet perfume?damo19 wrote:Hi Luke,

Re: ID Please
Hi Luke,
Thought it might be. I have not grown it myself but my teacher has had one for about 30 years. The largish compound leaves do not lend themselves to bonsai but from a purely horticultural viewpoint they are hardy, grow rapidly, tolerate pruning and can be grown in pots. We avoid them locally because they have become a garden weed. You can use the peppercorns too.
cheers
