This plant is highly appreciated for its proportions.The very small leaves of intense green color and the peculiar bark, gives it a mature air at an early age, which make it a species particularly indicated in bonsai art.Gives off an intense citrus fragrance when rubbed. Its berries, similar to those of pink pepper, are used in oriental cuisine to flavor dishes. It tolerates both great summer heats and the soil drought. It should be exposed in full sun, but it can also be good in partially shaded places. Very easy to handle.
