Japanese Pepper Trees

About

About Japanese pepper plants The Japanese pepper tree has been grown for centuries in Japan, where both the leaves and peppercorns are used in traditional cooking. The leaves are used fresh for their bright, citrus-like aroma, and the peppercorns ripen to release a tingling, numbing spice that enhances grilled meats, noodle dishes, and pickles. As a hardy shrub or small tree, the Japanese pepper plant adapts well to UK conditions, making it a great choice for gardeners who want to grow something a little different. With delicate foliage and clusters of vibrant peppercorns, it looks striking in borders, pots, or as part of a kitchen garden. All of our pepper trees are carefully raised to thrive in your garden, giving you the chance to enjoy a piece of Japanese culinary culture at home.
