When I lived in Los Angeles metro I saw a peppercorn bush at a farmers

Huh? Since when was a peppercorn a clove?

Both well know tropicals. If you have the facilities to grow one you
should be able to grow the other. In LA metro even the peppercorn plant
needed to be kept in a hothouse. No way anyone in ConUS is going to be
able to grow a clove plant anywhere but a hothouse. Possibly in Hawaii
but definitely not in any of the continental states.
