The pimento tree is indigenous to Tropical islands. It was found growing in Madagascar by early explorers who were quite impressed with the taste and aroma of the berries and the leaves. Pimento trees have also been found in Mexico, but it is Jamaica that pimento has the longest history, having been in continuous production since the tree was identified in about the year 1509.
Ground pimento is obtained from the dried unripened berry. Pimento is closely related to the Bay Tree and to Cloves. It is an evergreen tree, medium in size and in favourable locations will attain heights of 6 to 15 m. Primary branches are generally formed about 1-3 m above the ground. Whilst both male and female varieties will produce blossoms, it is believed that only the blossoms of the female mature to give berries. HOT!!
