[edit]Interesting though, never knew it was sensitive to dieback. Explains why I have killed so many trying to grow the damn things....Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:54, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
- I thought that was interesting too. Maybe its worth having a go at grafting it onto the lowland species Tasmannia insipida which maybe more dieback resistant (?)Aareo (talk) 01:13, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
- I have ten thumbs when it comes to those type of of things...but might give it a go one day :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 01:40, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
Immense salty taste after consuming leaves
[edit]I and some others have found that after consuming a leaf off the plant, for several hours afterwards everything, even water, tastes immensely salty. Is this an odd effext of Polygodial or is this some other chemical? I dont see literature on it but it seems somewhat confirmed to me.
Wierd Fruit Explorers channel on youtube reviewed it and found the same phenomenon.
UK history
[edit]Also known as the Cornish Pepper Leaf, this plant is thought to have been used as a pepper substitute in pasties! It is the probable source of the ingredient known as 'bit' - the plant is naturalized in various parts of Cornwall. 2A00:23C6:F100:4D01:9D36:C97B:41CF:FEA9 (talk) 13:16, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
