Allspice is a tropical evergreen tree grown for its dried unripe berries, whose flavour blends clove, cinnamon and nutmeg, hence the name. It forms a neat, glossy-leaved canopy with aromatic foliage and bark, and produces clusters of small white flowers followed by green berries that are dried for spice. Native to the Caribbean and Central America, it grows well in warm, frost-free parts of India with rich, well-drained soil and steady moisture. Trees are typically male or female, so a female is needed for berries. Both leaves and berries are used in cooking, pickling and flavouring.
