I live in Florida. I have 4 pimento trees in my backyard. I harvest the berries every year, process the berries, bottle the dried product and give it away to my family and friends. I’m in love with pimento. I owe my education to it. I’m from Woodlands.
very nice yes me friend you are doing great nice to see you in action, you can climb tree 😁👍 nothing goes to waist it's all useful; great video many thanks for sharing.
Ripe ones u can boil and make tea. I think ask Trelawny people from Stettin Ask for Laurel Downer or check the jamaica cooking site the lady is full of information Good luck
When said son son I remember my uncle brother son in Penlyne Castle in St Thomas. As a child every summer we children went to the country and put pimento to dry and bag up.I like your video. I relearn about this process.Good work.
Thanks for educating us on how pimento is grown and prepared in Ja.very enlightening and refreshing.I have been using pimento to cook in meat also rice and peas. It gives the food a good flavour. Thanks for the documentary my friend. Big up yourself.
Planted 2 allspice trees last year and they are growing nicely here in Costa Rica. What sort of climate do they grow best in Jamaica, down in the lowlands or up in the mountains where it's cooler?
Thanks for sharing , childhood memories surfaced 😁 use to do this with my grandma even burn the coal , even though am in CH I always have pimento in my kitchen , for my hair etc . Was fun watching 🤩👍🏼
Memories!!memories!! too @ Ms Bertha.Use to harvest it with my grandfather in that same district.Shell it put it in the sun,take it up when dried,all the works .Sell the bush,get our own pocket money.Thanking Mr Gayle for this video .I have some pimento wood right now in Kingston that at came from Westmoreland some of the dry berries too.Very proud of my roots.Big up to you Mr Gayle.
let me reminded the dealers who buy an trade in pimento ..that to ensure the good quality of the filled dry one is to get a hand full an shake at your ears .when fully dyed the seeded get loose an it shakes...
Jamaica is a gold mine in farming. If only the government will invest in farming instead of looking down their nose on country farmers. They work so hard and are treated so bad by the so call educated people. Jamaicans please remember to vote .shout out to Kamala Harris and her father who is a proud stock of country farmer. And his daughters to show them his humble beginnings
I got a sapling to plant it in a grow bag. But i mistakenly used clay soil which retains more water and my pimento started dying. Now I repotted with coco peat soil mix with quick draining. Let me wait for some more days to see it's revival. My place is Chennai city India
@@myislandjamaica. I lived in Manchester, Jamaica until I was 3-4 years old. My parents made pimento wine with the ripe berries and bundled the bush and sold to factories. The ripe berries can be combined with ginger and g-- , soaked in rum for an ointment for pain.
Trying to make some for myself, should I wash the green berries to remove any dust and potentially bugs? Would it be bad? Also should I remove the stems? Don't know how to do it easily
The whole tree of allspice can be used. The purples are meant for wine or tonic. Whenever touching a tree, learn it’s used in all parts so that none of it goes to waste.
Yes. That's my understanding. In fact this article was helful. It is said to be the new Castor Oil for hair .... hmm. stylecaster.com/beauty/red-pimento-hair-growth-oil-benefits/
hey bro so I came here because I was eating some of those spanish, pimento stuffed olives lol. i always liked to pick the pimento peppers out, and eat them all at the same time in a big huge bite of pimento :3 YUM...anyway, I HAD NO IDEA THAT THE PIMENTO PEPPER WAS DIFFERENT THAN THE PIMENTO SPICE! I originally came here because I just wanted to say thanks, because i was just searching UA-cam to find out more about pimentos and most of the videos above yours were just plain bad and/or too short. ---> Oh, and it would be nice if you made your entire audio track all around the same level of volume. Because when the music came on @ 01:13 I had to turn my volume down!! Anyway, thank you! Take care brother! EDIT: OH AND I SUBSCRIBED! (:
Hi Tips with Lizzz, the prices do vary based on season. You my check the latest on my e-store here: www.etsy.com/MyIslandJamaica/listing/763878188/jamaican-pimento-allspice-berries-whole
Bro you said that the ripe pimento should thrown out, so obviously you don't know we used it for Tommy ache and I sure it's bee used for other medical reasons.
The government need to cut out these people and buy it. The farmers get nothing because they buy on lend and if it is spoilt on her side she cut the farmers share. As I said the government should help more. The whole thing is to bring in business men

Good video i keep buying olives with pimentos and today i was like what is a pimento so now i know thanks buddy
You are welcome
the pimento in olives is not this but rather a piece of pimento pepper.
Hiya, quick question, is the Pimento Pepper (red one) different from Pimento Seed that you're describing here? Thanks in advance for your reply x
Oh yes, pimento pepper is actually a pepper 🌶
I got a sapling to plant it in a grow bag. But i mistakenly used clay soil which retains more water and my pimento started dying. Now I repotted with coco peat soil mix with quick draining. Let me wait for some more days to see it's revival. My place is Chennai city India
Great! Good luck my friend. 👍
Hi Sir' I am in Chennai. Need of more information on this. Can I reach you, is it ok ???
Good vlog my frend
Do you need both male and female tree to bear fruit? My tree is flowering and I’m ready bias information online 🌱💚
Thanks for sharing, pimento is a must for me (All spice) Jamaica is such a great place, fruits and much ,much more!
thanks Kathy
Nice video. There are 3 endemic Allspice in Jamaica the 4 th is the common one found all over the Caribbean and Mexico.
Oh yeah?
@@myislandjamaica The common one is Pimenta dioica. Endemics are P jamaicensis, P obscura and P richardii.
Jamaica is the only country wit all 4
just an observation on the presentation. The ripe berries are not useless, they are used to make pimento liquor.
👍
@@myislandjamaica. I lived in Manchester, Jamaica until I was 3-4 years old. My parents made pimento wine with the ripe berries and bundled the bush and sold to factories. The ripe berries can be combined with ginger and g-- , soaked in rum for an ointment for pain.
does the Stem also have a smell? I want to make perfume out of the Wood, instead the berrie, wich are used normally.
Thank you for this tutorial, the world is changing & local farming will be key once more as we move forward as a people globally.
Thanks! For educate us on the process on how pimento is cured.
Last month I pay 1000 JA dollars for a lb of pimento seeds in the market.
u r welcome Joyce! 1000!!! can you imagine? Next time check me. I have here. :-)
@@myislandjamaica I'll
@@myislandjamaica do you sell pimento seeds?
I can get some to you. Email me at gwellesley at gmail.com
How do you get the tree to grow, from green seed or dried seeds.
Very educational ...how much do they pay when dry it?
Nice vid, thanks! I recommend doing some sound normalization though - the music is deafening (or the dialog is inaudible, pick one)...
Trying to make some for myself, should I wash the green berries to remove any dust and potentially bugs? Would it be bad? Also should I remove the stems? Don't know how to do it easily
No don't wash it just put in the sun until it dries dark brown color then you can removes the little sticks.
The whole tree of allspice can be used. The purples are meant for wine or tonic.
Whenever touching a tree, learn it’s used in all parts so that none of it goes to waste.
A wonder plant for real
I do pimento harvesting too currently doing it now
The only thing not shown is, how to germinate pimento seeds and how to grow the plant. Oherwise a very nice video.
That's an idea💡. Thanks
Ok thank you. So is this Jamaican red pimento? Is this what is used to make red pimento hair oil?
Yes. That's my understanding. In fact this article was helful. It is said to be the new Castor Oil for hair .... hmm. stylecaster.com/beauty/red-pimento-hair-growth-oil-benefits/

Hi, the ripe berries make a drink and wine.

How long does it take from planting to the first harvest?
Hmm. Pimento trees 🌳 take a few years to grow and then bear berries. Usually at minimum 3 years
