Allspice (Pimenta dioica)
« on: July 09, 2022, 04:31:28 PM »
My allspice tree has fruited later than normal this year. Typically the fruit are ripe sometime in May. Oddly, it is also flowering again. Has anyone else had a similar experience this year?

Are these dioecious?
Do you have more than 1 tree?
My tree flowers but doesn’t set fruit
Do you have any recommendation for uses?

The literature indicates that they are often dioceous, however I have only one tree that produces very well.

The mature green berries are dried and used as a commercial spice. The leaves can be used as a rub for various meats and as a flavoring (simar to bay leaf) in soups. The wood is used in bbq'ing to impart jerk flavoring to meats.
