SUMMARY: The spikey Southern Prickly Ash tree, adorned with sharp spines and thorns, stands out in its natural habitat due to both its physical and chemical defenses, deterring animals and some insects. Known also as the Toothache Tree, it shares family ties with citrus plants, offering a scent and taste reminiscent of orange. The tree’s bark, rich in alkaloids and volatile oils, can numb the mouth similarly to dental medication, showcasing its medicinal purposes. Beyond pain relief, extracts from the tree are utilized in various treatments and culinary practices, particularly in Chinese and Japanese cuisines where it’s known as Sichuan Pepper.
