• Planting Zone: USDA Zones 9-11.
• Container Suitability: Can be grown in large containers for a more compact form.
• Flowers: Small, white, and aromatic, blooming in clusters.
• Fruit: The dried berries (allspice) are used in various spice blends.
Use: Allspice berries are dried and ground to create a versatile spice used in Caribbean and Latin cuisine. The leaves are also fragrant and can be used in teas or as a flavoring agent in cooking.
Standout Feature: Its fragrant berries and leaves, as well as its use as a culinary spice, make it highly valuable. Its evergreen foliage makes it an attractive landscape tree.
