That is indeed a very good choice. It is a very clean tree with little upkeep aside from watering and a little pruning. It also tends to spread out, so give it room to grow. When mature, it provides a nice dense shady area.
The only downside to a Brazilian Pepper tree is that it can be sensitive to the desert heat. So, you want to make sure to get one that has been acclimated to the desert, if recently shipped in from an area outside of our region. The best bet, is to get one that is raised from a seedling at a nursery here.
