Update: 2026 days 13hrs

Comments: - Easy to grow, requires little attention and takes up a shady spot. You can easily process the peppercorns, I get a small amount of pepper each year (dry weight of 68g this year) very strong flavour.The peppercorns can be planted but you get very low germination and they really don't like to be repotted.Mine is a sprawling variety which refuses to grow up a pole.

Bought off ebay as seedling not long ago and planted in pot and had it inside but didn't do well. I put it outside under the front verander which is west facing and getting all the afternoon sun. So far it's still alive.
