Piper Excelsum

A small, unassuming tree, but one of such quiet dignity. Revered by the Māori for both its medicinal and cultural significance. It has a taste for part shade, and a frost-free, sheltered spot is just what it desires to thrive. The leaves are evergreen and heart-shaped And if you’re looking to bring it indoors, it makes a splendid houseplant—just ensure it stays out of direct sunlight.
