{"product_id":"356290","title":"Pepper Tree, Japanese","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis winter-hardy shrub (also in our climate) is native to East Asia, particularly in mountainous regions, often on the sunny side of a forest edge. Its leaves are pinnate and deciduous in winter. Cover the soil with mulch to maintain a moist base; the soil must be well-draining. In Asian cuisine, it is primarily a \"heater.\" The young leaves are dried and crumbled, but the strikingly hot taste is best when fresh! Furthermore, the dried fruit peels are pounded in a mortar and are also very hot. In other cultures, the seeds are also used. Grow at least 3 plants or give a couple to your neighbors... as the plants are dioecious, you need a male and a female plant. The plant has thorns that later grow into decorative knobs on the bark! Finally: the plant can be successfully cultivated into a decorative bonsai!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-START --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNames:\u003cbr\u003e\nLatin: Zanthoxylum piperitum\u003cbr\u003e\nDutch: Peperboom, Japanse\u003cbr\u003e\nAlso known as: Sichuan Pepper, Sansho\u003cbr\u003e\nEnglish: Japanese Pepper, Anise Pepper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-END --\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"15 seeds","offer_id":44176265084981,"sku":"356290","price":3.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/356290.jpg?v=1750786346","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en\/products\/356290","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
