Our pepper tree only ever has unripe peppercorns. Stealing attention though from the figs, it gives us a better chance to savour those, infinitely more enjoyable than unripe peppercorns. The tree is half shredded and attracts a wide range of birds at dawn and dusk.

Eastern Rosellas and Crimson Rosellas:
The Sulphur-crested white cockatoo:
And even the silver-eyes:
And as always, the ever alert guard dog, Neo.
