We have black pepper creepers trained on coconut and areca nut trees.
Soon we will harvest pepper when we see a few ripe pods. And that we come to now when birds are seen on these creepers
It is a cumbersome process as harvesting pepper on creeper that have reached a height is not easy The gardener has left and the maid will have to do it
Once the pepper is harvested it has to be kept in gunny bags for the pepper to fully ripen and later sundried.

How interesting!
My parents used to have a pepper garden. But now they are old, they only plant a few pepper poles for family use.
We do not plant pepper with areca or coconut trees, we make 'pepper pillar' for them.
Pepper is a wonderful spice. I love it.

May be you do not have areca palms or coconut trees. They can be trained on any other tree as well

@allknowing Maybe so. In our area there are no palm trees, there are a few areca trees grown for their fruit.
