Is this a Brazilian Pepper tree?

Regarding the Brazilian Pepper trees at the post office, I only brought up the subject because more than one person was concerned and they also got the Miami Herald involved.

This is what the plants/trees look like.

Lili Dones cleared it up and left a comment on the last post regarding her inquiry to Jim McMaster, from the Tree Man Trust. Jim says:


"The trees at the Post Office are Dahoon Holly. Native, good choice. The ones they installed are good trees. The females have berries so they may be mistaken for Brazilian pepper. There are no Brazilian pepper trees on the Post Office lot."
