Initial Instructions
After unpacking, allow the plant a few days to gradually acclimate to full exposure. If you are keeping your Sansho Pepper in a container, re-pot it into any size container. If planting in the ground, select a location with well-drained soil, dappled light, and adequate moisture.
Cultivation
This plant will do well in a container or in the ground in a protected location. Being an understory tree in its native environment, it prefers dappled light, morning light and not direct sun that may scorch its leaves. While hardy, it is a tender perennial until well established, so afford it some protection and if in a pot, bring it into the greenhouse if winters are extreme. Cluster with other Sancho or Szechuan varieties for optimal pollination. These plants are dioecious meaning they are male and female plants. They do not come pre-sexed and must flower to determine if they have anthers or stamen by closely inspecting the flower.
