## Overview

The Chinese Pepper Tree (Zanthoxylum simulans) is a hardy, deciduous ornamental shrub standing 20-25cm tall, ideal for UK gardens. Known for its thorny structure, vibrant autumn foliage, and small red fruits that reveal peppery seed pods, it offers both aesthetic appeal and culinary use. Easy to grow, drought-tolerant, and fully hardy to -15°C, this rare shrub is perfect for small gardens or container planting, freshly grown and handpicked in the UK.

## Description

This medium sized, rounded shrub is very similar to that of the Japanese Pepper Tree, but native to China. It is an unusually thorny shrub that has composed leaves and numerous small, red fruits that open to reveal a black shiny seed in the Autumn. It has a spectacular autumn colouration, flashes of orange and yellow leaves that would brighten up anyone’s garden during the dull days. This shrubs main interest is that its seed pods are used as a pepper substitute in the Far East and its bark and leaves are even used as a condiment. It is a perfect plant for those with a small garden as it can be placed in a border or on the patio if grown in a container. It is easy to grow, not fussy to soil conditions and is drought tolerant. It can withstand temperatures as low as -15c.
