[Arid_gardener] Acacia mulga/aneura and Brazilian peppertree

[Linda Drew]

Acacia aneura (Acacia mulga) references:

http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Fabaceae/Acacia_aneura.html
http://www.anbg.gov.au/acacia/species/A-aneura.html

Doesn't appear to need and trimming except to remove deadwood.

Brazilian peppertree (Schinus terebinthifolius) references:
http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=SCTE
http://www.azcentral.com/home/garden/articles/1119swgarden1119.html
(this 2nd reference has some information on watering)

It appears this tree is not well adapted to the desert and
is considered invasive in Florida and Texas.
