Epiphyllum anguliger

Comments: - The Fishbone Cactus, Epiphyllum anguliger, can be grown in a hanging basket and is self fertile. The absolutely delicious fruit is reminiscent of Kiwi fruit with translucent green flesh and small black seeds.

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

Tyalgum Purple Epiphyllum

Comments: - Tyalgum Purple is an extremely cold tolerant epiphyllum hybrid. The fruit contain a crisp spoonable flesh that is evocative of dragonfruit but with a stronger flavour and higher bix rating than dragonfruit. This plant is much more hardy than dragonfruit and being shade tolerant does not require full sun to set  fruit. I grow them in dry sandy soil in full shade.
