sansho

sansho after rain

I didn’t realize until Mari brought home this sansho (prickly ash) plant that dried sansho berries and fresh kinome leaves come from the same plant. And szechuan pepper, too?

    Hi,
    I live in Minnesota and have been looking for a source of live kinome plant ( to grow indoors ( climate zone is 4 here). I grew up in Japan and I miss the flavor so much. Can you help me find the source for the plant (seed or seedling?)? Thanks for your web site! Mari Ito
