We grow and know what we sell.
The Tasmanian Mountain Pepper Berry tree (Tasmannia lanceolata) is
an endemic shrub/tree to Tasmania and parts of Gippsland in Victoria,
Australia.
In Tasmania it can be found growing anywhere from sea level
to alpine regions. As such, it tolerates frosts and needs moist soil. It
also grows in full or partial sun.
There are male and female trees
needed in order to produce the hot spicy deep purple (almost black)
glossy Pepper Berries which grow in clusters from umbels at the base of
new season's growth maturing to about the size of a pea.
Both the berry and the leaf
are edible - the berry being an alternative to traditional pepper but much more versatile and nutritious, and
the leaf used similarly to curry leaf.
