nothing! the best thing you can is not plant this monstrosity. It is a messy messy tree, dropping tiny leaves, berries and tiny little blossoms constantly. Nothing will grow under it, It requires constant pruning or its branches will send off viney shoots that will grow all the way to the ground. If you cut it down it will grow back up to 25 feet tall within one year. The roots will destroy anything concrete within 75 feet, driveways, sidewalks, brick retaining walls, septic tanks, and even the foundation to your house. Not only should you never plant this devil, It would be unwise to purchase a home with existing pepper trees or a home where the neighbors have one. I have 14 of these beasts on my 2 acre property and they are a giant headache, luckily most of them border the far edge and don't bother anything but the one has destroyed my driveway. Besides they are ugly as hell.
