This Article: Allspice - What does it look like?
|
This
tree is rather common in the forests of
Belize. The seeds are collected and sold
commercially but the trees are not grown
for commercial use. When you see Allspice
on the spice shelf at the grocery store,
remember that it was collected by hand in
the wild forests of Central
America.
The trees are
about 40 feet tall, and the bark is brown
with thin dry strips that easily peel
away. |
