Has anyone ever tried to grow black peppercorns? In this country, that is.

Thanks for the link, mum. I think I'll put a few in a pot just to see what happens. I wonder if the leaves can be used in cooking??

I have seen them growing in Kerela, southern India. The vines are grown up trees that are planted among the tea plantations to provide shade. I cannot imagine that you can reproduce that climate but good luck.

Thanks, Salmo. It looks like they grow rather large. Might be fun to try though.
