Description: Sichuan peppercorns are the spicy "outer peel" of berries from plants in the "prickly ash" family, native to the Sichuan province of China. These sharp, pungent, and flavorful rusty-red coverings are key ingredients in Chinese five-spice powder.The Sichuan pepper plant is a spreading shrub or small tree that grows up to several meters tall. It thrives outdoors in zones 6 to 9. Be cautious when handling it, as the plant has spikes and thorns. It can reach a maximum height of 13-17 feet and may take 3-5 years to produce peppers, depending on whether it is planted in the ground or in a pot. Prune the branches after the fall harvest or cut them back to enhance shape and height; peppers grow on the new growth. The young leaves are edible, but care must be taken because of the thorns.The plant requires full sun or at least half a day of sunlight.We will send out the plant at about 1 to 2 inches in height, without a pot.If you encounter any problems, please let us know within 24 hours of receiving the plant and include pictures.
