"California" pepper tree

Funny how information sometimes seems to converge from different places and answer your longstanding questions. The question was whether the California pepper tree was actually a native plant.

At El Dorado Park the other day I learned It's actually from Peru. It turns out that the first one only made it here to California in 1830. It's still alive at the Mission San Luis Rey.
