Hi Linton, your plant list is very impressive! Most of these are not from Daleys?!

Zanthoxylum piperitum Japanese Pepper

Zanthoxylum piperitum

Japanese Pepper

The Japanese Pepper Tree is a wonderful small tree, being highly ornamental and having most fragrant foliage. The leaves are highly aromatic and it is probably the only pepper tree where the leaves can be used in cooking as well as the berries.                             

Young fresh leaves are known as Kinome. Dried and powdered leaves are called Sansho. All edible parts of this species have a lemony aroma and undertaste. The Japanese Pepper tree is dioecious, so you need both a female and male tree to produce the pepper berries, but if you just need the leaves only 1 tree is required.

Hi Linton. I've enjoyed your comments on a thread about this plant. If you have any seedlings for sale, I'm interested. Thanks. Mick
