Introduction to Derong Tree Pepper

Tree pepper is a unique and pollution-free popular green food in Derong County. It usually blooms and bears fruit in March, green peppers are harvested in April, and gradually ripens in July. It can be harvested continuously until December, and the yield per mu can generally reach 800 kilograms

Brand effect: The rise in market prices has brought sweetness to local pepper growers. From initially unwilling to plant to sporadic planting, then from sporadic planting without wanting to plant, and finally to spontaneous planting, the scale of pepper planting began to rapidly develop in suitable local areas. In 2007, the planting scale in the county reached over 200 acres, with a yield of about 75 tons, but the supply still exceeded the demand

Due to the lignification of the trunk, small trees are formed, commonly known as "Shuzi Haijiao", which is a perennial plant. A primitive local chili variety that was initially introduced from India with the introduction of Tibetan Buddhism and later cultivated and bred through long-term cultivation in the local special geographical location and climate environment. This variety is first propagated and transplanted with seeds in the first year. It blooms and bears fruit that year, and can overwinter in the open air. It does not die in winter, and new shoots bloom and bear fruit every spring. The plant can reach a height of several meters, with lanceolate leaves and short angular fruits with slightly pointed tips. When mature, the fruit is golden and bright. Its pepper flesh is thin and spicy, which can stimulate appetite and strengthen the spleen. It has been used in Tibetan medicine, and its tree life can last for hundreds of years
