Plant history & use
Tasmanian mountain pepper is a spice plant native to the mountainous areas of southeastern Australia and Tasmania. The female plant produces the decorative and flavorful berries – deep blue-purple, strongly spicy and with a characteristic heat. Both berries and leaves are used fresh or dried in cooking, for example in stews, sauces, or as a pepper substitute. For berry harvest, a male plant nearby is needed for pollination. A herb mix with a clear pepper undertone usually describes the taste briefly.
Cultivation
Thrives in partial shade to shade in moisture-retentive, well-drained, and acidic soil. Needs protection from strong winds and drying winter sun. Suitable in a larger pot or in a sheltered spot in the garden in milder parts of the country.
