Allspice has been a pleasure to grow. Wish I could ad a picture. After growing for 4 years it grew to 8 feet tall, I had to snip it's top to bring it inside for the winter because our ceiling is only 7.5 ft high. I live in Washington state so it only goes outside for 3 months. The pleasant light spicy smell it emits is wonderful and the leaves are great in cooking.

I really enjoy this plant as it is easy to grow and relatively tolerant of semi-forgetful watering. The leaves smell like allspice when rubbed so it is very welcome in my home. The only downside to this plant is they are male and female so to get fruit you'd need to have multiple plants. My plant has not yet bloomed though so I've no idea if it is male or female.
Ordered this plant a few years back. The first plant I received was damaged, Logee's sent a replacement right away. I still have this plant, which is a small tree that is very forgiving of the dry Minnesota winters indoors. This is a very nice plant whose fragrant leaves I boil in water to perfume my house.
