Plant history & use
Tasmanian Mountain Pepper is a shrub from the cool mountain areas of southeastern Australia and Tasmania. It has been used by the indigenous people and later European settlers for its aromatic leaves and berries. The male plant is needed as a pollinator for the female plant to bear berries. Both leaves and berries are used as seasoning – the taste is peppery, fresh and somewhat sweet, with a stinging heat reminiscent of pink pepper or a mild chili. An herb blend with a clear pepper undertone usually sums up the taste.
Cultivation
Thrives in partial shade to shade in moisture-retentive, well-drained and acidic soil. Protected from strong winds and winter drought. Can be grown in a larger pot or outdoors in sheltered spots in milder climates. A male plant is required for female plants to produce berries.
