Allspice Plant, Jamaica Pepper (Pimenta Dioica)

Origin of Allspice Plant : - Allspice, also known as Jamaica pepper, myrtle pepper, pimenta, or pimento, is the dried unripe berry of Pimenta dioica, a mid-canopy tree native to the Greater Antilles, southern Mexico, and Central America, now cultivated in many warm parts of the world. The name “allspice” was coined as early as 1621 by the English, who valued it as a spice that combined the flavours of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove.

The Allspice plant, fascinatingly, derives its name from the English, who thought it combined the flavour of Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and cloves. Interestingly, the plant is found in the western ghats in places that were once under the Dutch or the Portuguese. The good soil characteristics in these parts cause the plant to grow well. Native to the West Indies, Allspice makes an excellent container plant.
