In my garden there are some not very attractive pepper trees that are quite messy, dropping their berries and twigs all over the place. They have to be cut down and trimmed regularly or they get all very sloppy looking.
Today I made the discovery that the berries are really pepper corns. (What can you expect from a gal from the East Coast? No pepper trees in New York.) I had been wondering why they were called pepper trees.
Guess now I'm gonna harvest the "berries", let them dry and dump them into my pepper grinder.
And I always thought that pepper came from various Pacific Islands.
