Description

The Chinese Pepper, which is also called Sichuan Pepper, grows in many parts of Asia and is especially common in the Himalayas, Japan, and Korea.

From the fruits of the Chinese Pepper, a hot spice can be made, although it is not related to the real black pepper. It is a dioecious plant with male and female specimens.

The small leaves are paripinnate, dark green, and glossy. Trunk and branches have thorns which can make wiring a painful experience. The small flowers appear in terminal florescences and have a greenish-yellow color, while the mature fruits are reddish and look like peppercorns.
