Evergreen shrub or small tree with rounded crown and alternate, pinnate, dark green leaves. The inflorescences of small pale flowers arranged in panicles give rise to numerous small, bright red stone fruits.
This shrub produces the well-known pink peppercorns. It is not actually a true pepper, and is also known as rose pepper on account of its slight sweetness.
As our Frutigen pepper tree seldom produces fruit, we use its aromatic peppery leaves in dried form in our seasoned salt mix.
