Caribbean Spice Tree Bundle: Allspice + Bay Rum
Regular price $199.90 Sale price $169.92Two Aromatic Island Classics—From Kitchen Spice to Tropical Fragrance
Bring the warmth and flavor of the islands to your garden with the Caribbean Spice Tree Bundle, featuring two of the Caribbean’s most iconic aromatic evergreens:
- Allspice Tree (Pimenta dioica) – The legendary “all-in-one” spice with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. A must-have for jerk seasoning, sauces, and desserts.
- Bay Rum Tree (Pimenta racemosa var. racemosa) – Glossy, fragrant leaves used for traditional island cologne and herbal tonics, with a rich, spicy aroma that perfumes the air.
Together, these tropical trees add beauty, fragrance, and history to your home landscape. Grow them in full sun and well-drained soil for lush, evergreen foliage and year-round island vibes.
Includes two mature trees (about 2-3 ft tall) in our X-Large (3 gallon) pots.
Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained, rich soil. Keep evenly moist during the growing season, though mature trees are somewhat drought-tolerant. Prune lightly to shape when young. Hardy in USDA Zones 9b–11, allspice thrives in warm, humid conditions and can be container-grown in cooler climates. Fruiting trees are dioecious, meaning both male and female trees are needed for berry production—though even non-fruiting trees are prized for their aromatic leaves.

Growing Tips
Plant in full sun and well-drained soil, and water regularly during establishment. Bay Rum loves warmth and humidity but tolerates periods of dryness once mature. Prune as needed to shape or maintain a compact size for containers or small gardens. Best suited for USDA Zones 9b–11, though it can be grown in pots and overwintered indoors in cooler zones. Bay Rum grows well alongside other aromatic tropicals like Allspice, Cinnamon, and Clove Trees.
