black pepper tree from Vietnam. The fruits which consist in green berries containing in turns black berries, really seem those of pepper but there is a great difference between this plant and those I could find out on the Internet: this plant has big thorns, and there are thorns on both sides of leaves too. At this point I ask myself if this really is a black pepper tree. Is there someone from Asia or other countries of course, able to give me an answer?

Thanks Mirtguy! I think you are about to answer correctly because the plant is similar to those shown on the internet sites you wrote, moreover both leaves and pepper-looking fruits are aromatic. But there is something different: principal branches has alternate leaves and not opposite ones. The secondary branches which look like leaves have in turns opposite secondary leaves and in the exact place in which these secondary leaves start, there are two thorns: one on the upper face of the leaf and the other on the opposite face. There are also thorns in the principal branch. I don't know if it is possible to send a photo. If possible let me know. I want to ensure "oldlady" that this neighbour has this bush-tree in his garden since 20 years. He didn't bring it recently from Viet Nam. Thanks to all those have replied seriously to my question till now. I am about to choose the best answer in a few days, please help me. I'm very curious to identify this plant. I apologize for my bed English

What you have is probably Szechwan Pepper -- it is also known as the "Prickly Ash".
Szechwan pepper is native to the Szechwan province of China. Though they bear some resemblance to black peppercorns, they are not actually of the pepper family, but the dried berry of a tree of the rue family. Several Zanthoxylum species grow throughout the temperate belt of China, Japan, the Himalayas and North America. They all have similarities, being aromatic and used in herbal remedies. Only the species Zanthoxylum piperitum is useful for cooking.

pepper plants are a vine not a tree. There should be no spikes.

I'm not sure, but why don't you plant it, let it grow, and then see what kind of plant it is?

Maybe it is a rose stem.
