What happened to the history of this article prior to January, 2007? Schinus molle redirects here, and I assume it was moved from there, but the history is gone.--Curtis Clark 01:07, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I created the article from scratch on Jan 3 2007, which is why there's no prior history! Schinus molle used to redirect to Schinus. I moved it to redirect to this article. Squeezeweasel 13:44, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yes, sorry, I remember now that all the links went to Schinus. Thanks for creating the species page.--Curtis Clark 15:40, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It would be interesting to add some history on how the missionaries brought the tree to California back in the early 1820s. --Wws (talk) 13:53, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By all means, please do. AngoraFish 木 23:25, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed this from the article as the first part is uncited and the second part needs work to make it encyclopedic: "Thia tree was brought with eucalyptus trees up the Pacific coast by the conquistadors as a source for making chicha (a fermented alcoholic beverage from the ripe pink peppercorns).^{[citation needed]} The 'eucalyptus' trees referred to in the previous sentence are obviously not from the genus Eucalyptus indigenous to Australia and nearby islands, as members of this species were only carried to the 'old world' by Joseph Banks, scientist of the Captain Cook expedition in 1770."

The article describes the tree is asouth America, several US states and Puerto Rico, Australia, and a general remark about it being an invasive weed tree. I encountered it in a story about a place in southern France, faux poivrier was the name. Is it just as invasive around the Mediterranean Sea or any place in Africa? Where is it grown for its uses flavoring drinks? Is it a cash crop in its native habitat? This is a good article, it got me curious. — Prairieplant (talk) 17:26, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
