Question about this red peppercorn plant

Judsonia, AR(Zone 7b)

or tree/bush/vine, not sure what it's going to be, it was given to me as a gift last year from a wonderful trader, it was about 3 in tall then, and now it's huge. But when will it get peppercorns on it. LOL i've never seen anykind of bloom at all, is it too small still?

Can't tell for certain but that looks like a baby Brazilian Pepper Tree, Schinus terebinthefolia. The leaf structure is similiar yet immature. It grows real fast. Roots are invasive. I have one that is about 40' tall and as wide. Don't expect any peppercorns for awhile, at least a few more years. some people are allergic to them. Suggest you read some more about the species.......nada
