Native Pepper Berry (Tasmannia insipida) MALE

The Pepperbush (Tasmannia insipida) MALE is a versatile native Australian shrub, essential for pollinating female plants to produce its edible, peppery berries. While the male plant does not bear fruit, it plays a crucial role in supporting the female plant's berry production. Additionally, its leaves are edible and can be used fresh or dried to impart a subtle peppery taste to culinary creations. Growing to a height of about 2 meters, this evergreen shrub thrives in cool, moist environments, preferring well-drained soil and partial shade. Its glossy foliage and compact growth make it an attractive addition to gardens, particularly in temperate climates. Low-maintenance and hardy, the male Pepperbush is ideal for bushfood gardens or as a companion plant to ensure a successful harvest of its flavourful berries.
