Tasmannia lanceolata (male) 'Mountain Pepper' 18cm

Tasmannia lanceolata Male 'Mountain Pepper' 

This shrub is visually appealing, boasting dark green, leathery leaves and vibrant crimson young stems. Plants are either male or female, with creamy white flowers appearing in Spring. Female plants can produce berries only when a nearby male plant is present. The leaves and berries of this shrub can be used fresh or dried. This plant prefers a cool, moist, and fertile soil and can withstand cold, frosty conditions. Pruning after fruiting can help maintain the desired shape and stimulate the growth of new, crimson stems. Adequate mulching helps to retain moisture in the soil and suppress weed growth.
