Tasmanian Mountain Pepper

A lovely and valuable Australian native that grows about 8 feet tall and features glossy evergreen leaves with gorgeous bright red stems. An absolutely gorgeous ornamental, the Tasmanian Mountain Pepper also produces delicious peppery berries that can add some unique pizzaz to your culinary creations. We were first turned on to this plant by some chefs in the area and decided we must grow this edible and ornamental beauty from down under!  The Mountain Pepper is not quite drought tolerant so be sure to give it some summer water.
