## Overview

The Chinese Pepper Tree (Zanthoxylum simulans) is a hardy, deciduous ornamental shrub that stands 5-10cm tall in a 7cm pot. Known for its striking autumn color and small red fruits, this unique plant is perfect for small gardens and can be used as a pepper substitute in culinary dishes. Grown sustainably in the UK, it is ready for planting next spring and requires light watering and full sun exposure.

## Description

This medium sized, rounded shrub is very similar to that of the Japanese Pepper Tree, but native to China. It is an unusually thorny shrub that has composed leaves and numerous small, red fruits that open to reveal a black shiny seed in the Autumn. It has a spectacular autumn colouration, flashes of orange and yellow leaves that would brighten up anyone’s garden during the dull days. This shrubs main interest is that its seed pods are used as a pepper substitute in the Far East and its bark and leaves are even used as a condiment. It is a perfect plant for those with a small garden as it can be placed in a border or on the patio if grown in a container. It is easy to grow, not fussy to soil conditions and is drought tolerant. It can withstand temperatures as low as -15c.

*by J***N on 16 April 2024*

Excellent quality and careful packaging.Very prompt service.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice healthy plant
*by D***R on 10 June 2021*

A strong healthy plant which had obviously been grown by people who know and care about what they are doing. Well packed and survived the delivery process really well. Would have preferred something a bit bigger, and having seen the quality of this plant, I would feel quite comfortable paying these people a little more to have that option.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet little plant, packed very well.
*by M***N on 4 April 2023*

The little plant arrived so well packed, and with some good instructions for looking after it.
