Hi
This is a photo of a Sp tree in our garden. It is about two years old.
Has anyone else grown this, Either in dirt or AP?
For anyone unfamiliar with this plant it is a perennial, ash family and produces pepper “corns” with a distinctive citrus flavour. Often used in Chinese cooking.
I am waiting for it to fruit............... Any experience?
Titus

There is a pepper corn tree that grows around here (well to north anyway where its warmer) but I'm not sure it is the culinary sort.

Its a bit of a weed actually.

I think the broadleaved pepper tree (Schinus terebinthifolius) is what you are thinking of Stuart and yes it is a noxious weed in many places. Different to the Szechuan pepper.
