S – Schinus molle L. – Pepe falso (Anacardiaceae)

[muskmelon-enjoyer-199x]

Found a big colony of polypore mushrooms on a Peruvian peppertree (schinus molle). Maybe some kind of ganoderma? It looks like one!

it's hard to say what species, though. Mushrooms are tricky enough, and polypores are even trickier for me. If it's not something good like sulfur shelf, hedgehog, or oxtongue, then it's not really worth disturbing, in my opinion!

The peppertree looked like it was doing alright, so I guess the relationship is probably parasitic. The fruiting bodies themselves were quite large and wrapped around the entire base of the trunk, so they're probably pretty well-established. Makes you wonder how long the peppertree has left!

California Peppertree

Schinus molle (Peruvian pepper, also known as American pepper, Peruvian peppertree, escobilla, false pepper, rosé pepper, molle del Peru, pepper tree, peppercorn tree, California pepper tree, pirul, Peruvian mastic, Anacahuita o Aguaribay and Pepperina)

Sprouted 15 years ago (2008) in our yard. 30 feet in diameter now. Never been pruned (I’ve totally ignored it - no water or fertilizer either).

I’m going to be pruning it today. Cutting out conflicting branches, dead wood, suckers, and lower branches.

Schinus molle (Peruvian pepper, also known as American pepper, Peruvian peppertree, escobilla, false pepper, rosé pepper, molle del Peru, pepper tree,[4] peppercorn tree, California pepper tree, pirul,[5] Peruvian mastic,[6] Anacahuita or Aguaribay[7] and Pepperina[8]) is an evergreen tree that grows to 15 meters (50 feet). It is native to an area from the Peruvian Andes to southern Brazil. The bright pink fruits of Schinus molle are often sold as "pink peppercorns" although S. molle is unrelated to black pepper (Piper nigrum). The word molle in Schinus molle comes from mulli,[9] the Quechua word for the tree. The tree is host to the pepper-tree moth, Bombycomorpha bifascia.

What is the mythology of black pepper?

Here is how the story goes – in the spice paradise there were enormous serpents guarding the pepper trees and the only way to get the peppercorn was by scorching the entire tree to get rid of the serpents. After which, the charred peppercorns were collected, and hence the colour black.

Różowy pieprz to owoc drzewa z gatunku Schinus molle (pieprzowiec peruwiański) lub Schinus terebinthifolia (pieprzowiec brazylijski), a nie prawdziwy pieprz, który pochodzi z rodziny pieprzowatych (Piperaceae). Choć nazywany "pieprzem", różowy pieprz nie jest bezpośrednio spokrewniony z czarnym, białym czy zielonym pieprzem, lecz pochodzi z rodziny nanerczowatych (Anacardiaceae). Ma łagodniejszy, owocowy smak, lekko pikantny z nutami cytrusowymi i żywicznymi dzięki czemu jest ceniony zarówno w kuchni jak i w aromaterapii.

Brazylia – Pieprzowiec brazylijski (Schinus terebinthifolia) jest rodzimy dla regionów południowo-wschodniej Brazylii.

Obecnie drzewa te rosną również w innych rejonach o ciepłym, tropikalnym klimacie takich jak:

Kalifornia i Floryda w Stanach Zjednoczonych,

Australia i Afryka (np. w Afryce Południowej),

Kraje basenu Morza Śródziemnego.

Drzewa różowego pieprzu są wytrzymałe i rosną na obszarach suchych często występując na terenach gdzie inne rośliny mają trudności z przetrwaniem. Owoce różowego pieprzu są małe o intensywnie różowym kolorze, a ich smak jest unikalnym połączeniem słodyczy i ostrości.

Plantio

Retire a Muda do Saco Plástico: Com cuidado, retire a muda do saco plástico ou do recipiente em que veio, preservando o torrão de terra ao redor das raízes.

Posicione a Muda na Cova: Coloque a muda na cova de forma que o colo (junção entre o caule e as raízes) fique nivelado com a superfície do solo.

Preencha a Cova: Complete a cova com a mistura de solo e adubo, pressionando levemente para eliminar bolsas de ar.

Adubação

Adubação de Plantio: Utilize cerca de 10-20 litros de esterco bem curtido ou composto orgânico por cova, misturando bem com o solo.

Adubação de Manutenção: A cada seis meses, aplique uma adubação de cobertura com matéria orgânica (esterco curtido ou composto) ou com adubo químico, de acordo com a necessidade específica da espécie.

Cuidados Pós-Plantio

Rega: Regue a muda imediatamente após o plantio e mantenha o solo úmido, principalmente nos primeiros meses. Em regiões secas, regue 2 a 3 vezes por semana.

Proteção: Proteja a muda contra ventos fortes e animais, utilizando estacas ou cercas de proteção.

Podas: Realize podas de formação e limpeza, removendo ramos secos, doentes ou mal posicionados.

Dicas Gerais para Crescimento Saudável

Mulching: Aplique uma camada de mulch (palha, folhas secas) ao redor da base da árvore para manter a umidade do solo e controlar ervas daninhas.

Controle de Pragas e Doenças: Inspecione regularmente as árvores e trate prontamente qualquer infestação ou doença.

Acompanhamento: Acompanhe o desenvolvimento das árvores e ajuste as práticas de manejo conforme necessário para garantir um crescimento saudável.

Say "Teotihuacan" 10x fast

For many reasons it's important to preserve, honor and acknowledge the original stewards of existing lands. Admittedly, I struggled with new syllables and practiced several times [TEO-TI-WA'KAN], [TEO-TI-WA'KAN], [TEO-TI-WA'KAN]. Now, here's what no one struggles with...feeling in AWE! Like jaw dropping, ancient, archeological type awe.

According to Wikipedia (I know), "Teotihuacan is known today as the site of many architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids, namely the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. It is considered as the first advanced civilization on the North American continent, with a population estimated at 125,000, making it at least the sixth-largest city in the world during its epoch."

"The city covered 8 square miles and up to 90 percent of the total population of the valley resided there. Teotihuacan is thought to have been established around 100 BCE (Before Common Era), and may have lasted until the 8th century CE, but its major monuments were systematically burned around 550 CE."

If visiting, here are my Gitanavida Pro tips:

Watch out for the Jaguar whistle. Sounds wayyy too real.

Watch out for those steps. Wayyy too steep.

Watch out for that sun. Wayyy too hot. Water, sunblock and hats are a must.

Photo buddy optional but handy. Shout out to my Bolivian homie!

Mezcal tour…wayyy worth it.

While visiting, I also noticed a tree that was all around. Turns out it's the infamous tree, as in the famous song (clip below), "Lena de Pirul". I then learned that "Pirúl (Schinus molle) is also known as Árbol Del Perú, Peruvian Peppertree, and in Nahuatl, it is Pelonquáhuitl and is native to the Peruvian Andes. The indigenous put a high value on the pirúl because of its many uses."

Bromeliad Society of New Zealand journal -

Jan 1986 issue

featuring the garden of my maternal Grandma and Grandpa, Hazel and John Jack

Post- it note:

Hi Diane,

enclosed is an article on your Mum & Dad's garden in 1985

Kind regards,

Dave A

Visit to Mr and Mrs Jack.

WM. Rogers.

Our last society visit for 1985 was to Jacks' on the North Shore. About 30 members attended a pleasant mild early Summer afternoon. The front garden is very simple, a series of curves - a curved lawn, a curved pebble garden planted with two or three low growing, wide spreading junipers and a clump of Drosanthemum against a setting of red paving and red pebbles.

On one side of the house is a narrow border of low growing ferns. The back of the house is at the top of a steep incline, almost a cliff, looking out over the motorway and an inlet of the Waitemata harbouor. This steep incline is laid out largely as a bromeliad garden. Paths and stairways zig-zag downwards through pebble covered beds and slopes and scoria retaining walls. The garden slopes downwards to the east, getting the morning sun. It has been planted with a number of tall shrubs such as Schinus molle which give dappled light to the plants beneath. Some of the shrubs which might have cast too much shade have had their foliage thinned somewhat. The garden is virtually frost free.

The top terrace below the house contains a variety of well spaced speciment plants set out widely to display their individual shapes and colours.

On the next terrace is small greenhouse packed with miniature tillandsias, dwarf orchids and a number of offsets being propagated. Some wire baskets contained clusters of dry loving tillandsias placed as is, without soil, or other support, Several tillandsias were hanging from the roof on nylon fishing line. It would seem a good way to produce offsets. On T.Steptophylla was completely upside down and was producing 6 or 8 offsets round its base. Some offsets of Crypy. 'It' were being started in a small trough about 12" long, about a dozen plants in two rows. It will make a fine container full once fully grown.

Among the orchids a Sophrolaelia looked very colourful. The flowers bright red, about an inch across in a head of about 8 were very eye catching.

Back outside under a light shade is a large bed several square yards in extent, of red foliage Neoregelias of several kinds. Looking at them from a lower level with back lighting, they were especially impressive. Looked at from above there are a great variety of foliage and bract colour patterns to be seen. The individual plants vary from large to small growth habits and should be a great use, not only to bromeliad lovers but to the average Auckland home gardener, once they are better known.

At a slightly lower level is a Schinus molle-pepper tree - used for hanging an assortment of tillandsias. Most are suspended from nylon threads and have been in place for several years, some forming clumps a foot or more across. A month or so ago, from the recent flowers to be seen they would have been a mass of colour.

Looking down a steep slope there were fine plants, some of them very large. Most of the plants in the garden are in containers, plunged in pebbles so that they can be moved about as needs require. The stone walling and layers of pebbles were a lot of work to get organised, but now the garden is comparatively maintenance free, no weeding, and the efforts can be concentrated on the plants.

Near the bottom of the garden is a small area covered with shade cloth, the structure shaped to fit the uneven angles and slopes of the site. Here was to be seen a fine Phaius tankervilliae orchid with several flower spikes, purple and white. The bottom level of the garden for contrast from bromeliads, was of further low growing junipers and ground cover of ajuga. Here and there, through the garden are dotted bonsai of various kinds, a dwarf pine, a sciadopitys, umbrella pine, and others such as xanthorrhea or grass trees and a beaucairnea. Nearby was a large plant of Guzmania cryptantha about 3" high and across which has recently flowered. The larger Ae. pectinata was showing a nobly flower head bud.

Coming back up the steps on the other side of the garden is a collection of assorted colour forms of Neo.carolinae - oranges, reds and purples.

A little higher is a ground cover garden, a new one to me. Several square yards of tiny spreading plants coming through the pebbles and plastic to form a carpet. Purple and yellow sisyrichium were in flower. The foliage fans making a contrast to the ground covers which included cotulas grey and brown, Spanish shawl with its purple flowers pratras with blue flowers and a minute dianthus.

After several good looks round - one isn't enough - we were able to enjoy a nice afternoon tea prepared by Mrs. Jack and the ladies of the Society. To the Jacks, many thanks for a very pleasant outing.

I am interested in this article for many reasons. There is of course a personal curiosity about my grandparent's appearance in this journal, and a nostalgia upon reading about 'Paths and stairways [that] zig-zag downwards through pebble covered beds and slopes and scoria retaining walls' which I remember so fondly as a child. Although I was born 12 years after this article was written, it paints a very accurate picture to the garden I spent much time in during my childhood when visiting my grandparents.

Analysing this in a more critical way relevant to my masters research, I enjoy certain phrases throughout the article that can highlight some metaphors and parallels with painting.

This includes:

'A little higher is a ground cover garden [...] several square yards of tiny spreading plants coming through the pebbles and plastic to form a carpet '

The term 'ground cover' can relate to priming, and gesso, and the way one might prepare a canvas surface.

'a series of curves - a curved lawn, a curved pebble garden'

Many descriptors of gardens in this text relate to formal qualities of paintings, in terms of colour, composition and texture.

This article has sparked a new painting idea: I am going to do a painting of my grandparents' garden, from memory. The type of garden they had has a particularly beautiful combination of wilderness and curation - something I am currently interested in my practice.

As mentioned in this article, the actual species and layout of the garden was very considered, however the atmosphere within it (at least the two decades later in which I experienced it,) was of immersive overgrowth, the type of garden where you feel completely cut off from the rest of the world when inside because of the intensity in which it surrounds you. This of course could be because of the fanciful, and proportionally different way in which I experienced things as a child - but painting through this lens could contribute to an interesting painting.
