If this is anything like Brazilian Pepper, a nasty exotic in Florida,
it will burn OK but there is a lot of sap in the wood when it is green
and not much left once it dries out. It is light and burns fast. Some
folks are sensitive to the sap and those people also have problems
with the smoke.




No California Pepper Tree is quite different from the Brazilian. CA Pepper
is soft, burns fast but clean when dried.

Seeing as how he posted this ten years ago, I'm guessing it's either
cured or has died of its original malady!
