Allspice Tree (Jamaica Pepper) - Pimenta dioica Spotted • Zones: 6-9You can experience Allspice's warm flavors in cuisines around the world from Jamaica to Europe to the Middle East. The taste of the small, brown fruit will remind you of cinnamon, clove, black pepper, and nutmeg put together in one spice jar hence the perfectly penned name but it is one single spice. While Allspice is also called Jamaica pepper, myrtle pepper, pimenta, and pimento, none of those names does justice for its inclusive array of flavors.
