Etymology
Pepperidge may come from old local words pepper ('pepper') and ridge ('ridge'), perhaps because the tree has small peppery fruit or often grows on ridges. A helpful way to remember it is to picture a 'pepper' on a 'ridge'—the tree people named for its peppery fruit and bright red autumn leaves.
