Sechuan Pepper

I planted mine around 6 months ago on the West shore of a seasonal pond we have. It seemed happy and did some good growing, and even produced a tiny crop of around 20 peppercorns in its very first fall. The deer roam the area extensively but have left it alone so far. The leaves also smell lovely. I have it on my drip irrigation system but other than one or two weedings I have mostly let it do its own thing.

Starting next year I expect to have all the peppercorns I need -- a little goes a long way!

The plants arrived in a very well packed boxes. I ordered 3 of these a couple years ago and they have already quadrupled in size and started producing peppercorns. They are hardy and have held up well to cold snaps, so I decided to buy 4 more. Hoping to prune them all into small trees.

This little guy is doing well. I'm very intrigued with growing my own pepper plant! I'm tickled by it's large thorns. Respect!

I planted it this week and it had grown 7" and leafed out...inside my home ..I am hoping I can protect it this coming winter...in my state it runs zone 4..5...6 so will just have to see and hope I can protect it as it is a very interesting plant to grow. ...and would love to use the pepercorns and shells...I am Hopeful...

The plant arrived in a very well packed box. It was in good condition, bigger than I expected.

After taken it out of the box and placed by the window, it has been thriving: green leaves start growing, small branches begin forming and the tinny little peppers are appearing as well. I am very happy with the purchase. Thank you rain-tree nursery!
