Two questions:
1) Anyone grown Schinus molle, the california peppertree, in the PNW? It's rated for zone 9 or warmer and I'm wondering if anyone has had any success.
2) Given that it's an invasive problem in the lower latitudes, do you think the less hospitable winters here might keep that potential in check?
I'm asking because I have very, very strong childhood associations with the scent of this tree, plus I love the foliage, form, and fruit. I live in Seattle and I'd very much like to plant this near my house, but I also don't want to feel responsible for the next butterfly bush. That said, I really, really, really would like to have a peppertree next to my house so I can see it and smell it. Trying to weight pros and cons and some sense of moral responsibility. Your feedback is welcome. Thx, Sara
