Pepper trees suck,  I had one in my back yard and tried for years to get it to stand up on its own (POS tree).  I finally fixed it with the chainsaw last summer.  >:D

Have a lot of the pepper trees in Vegas and see them blown over all the time. Sucks, looked like a big one you had there

lol same with eucalyptus's . they get tall as hell and they are brittle. My dad and I took all the ones out of our backyard after a series of big ass limbs broke off in the winds we get in the spring.

Also drive in a couple 3' tree watering stakes and get rid of the drippers or bubblers watering it. The roots will grow to where the water is.  :thumbup:

Are you serious? I'd love to save that tree, I've got a tree guy coming Thursday, but if it can be saved, that'd be tits.
