pimiento
Pronounced:pih-MYEHN-toh
A large, red, heart-shaped sweet pepper 3-4 inches long and 2-3 inches wide. Pimiento is Spanish for "pepper." The flesh is sweet, succulent and more aromatic than that of the red bell pepper. Pimientos are the familiar red stuffing found in green olives. Pimento is the name of the tree from which allspice comes.

They grow on trees (well on bushes). They are the same family as bell peppers and chillies. The seeds from the same fruit are dried to make Allspice.
