Description

Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) is a climbing vine that is native to South India.  Thriving in hot humid, tropical climates it prefers semi shade with dappled sun light but can handle full sun once established. It is best grown on a supporting structure eg. fence or trellis.

In cooler areas Black Pepper can still be grown successfully in a pot and kept in a hothouse or indoors during winter.  Black Pepper makes an excellent indoor climbing or hanging plant.

Pepper is the most commonly used spice in the world. The fruits are dark red when fully ripe. Immature fruits can be picked as green pepper.  Black pepper is the fruit dried with the skin on and white pepper is the dried seed only
