· also called brazilian pepper tree, florida holly, brazilian pepper, brazilian peppertree, christmasberry
Listed as invasive. Check local regulations — several jurisdictions restrict planting.
Honeybees forage on Brazilian pepper for abundant nectar and pollen, a key late-season resource in subtropical areas where it is established. Peak bloom September through November supports late-season colony buildup. Classified invasive in many subtropical jurisdictions — beekeepers should verify local regulations and avoid planting in at-risk habitats.
