Male Native Australian Pepper

Native Australian Pepper (Tasmannia lanceolata) is a cool-climate shrub grown for its aromatic leaves and, on female plants, spicy berries used in bushfood-style cooking. The glossy, dark foliage and small cream flowers give ornamental appeal as well as culinary value when male and female plants are grown together for pollination.

Plant in a cool, moist, well-drained position with dappled shade or morning sun and protection from hot, drying winds. Regular watering, mulching, and occasional feeding with a gentle native fertiliser will support healthy growth and leaf production.

An excellent choice for bush tucker and herb gardens in suitable climates.
