    They are perennials. And planting in those months gives you the best chance for germination. It is unlikely you will be able to harvest any the first season though. They will need to be in a greenhouse as they cannot take any cold what-so-ever. This article will be helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/peppercorn/how-to-grow-peppercorns.htm

    Peppercorn Vines require an adequate size pot for root development. I recommend a glazed or raw terra cotta pot 18-24" (or more) inches in diameter and 20" (or more) in height, with adequate drain holes. Keep in mind the vine will require a trellis for support.

    I agree that this looks like the leaf structure and pattern of the Peppercorn plant.
    Until it forms the pepper seeds you will not be sure.

    Pink peppercorns come from the Schinus molle plant. This site includes an image of a seedling:

    These will flower in very long clusters. The spikes at each joint can be new shoot growth, or new bloom growth. If you can send a picture then it will help me to identify what is going on. This article will give you more information on growing these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/peppercorn/how-to-grow-peppercorns.htm

    Typically, these are dried and treated in such a way that would prevent them from sprouting. There is a small chance that some of them may, but this is highly unlikely.
