Cinnamomum camphora Camphor Tree seed
LATIN NAME: Cinnamomum camphora
COMMON NAME: Camphor Tree
The camphor tree is a handsome, tall, broad, evergreen tree of the warm regions, and its fine, glossy, aromatic, dark-green leaves and its dense, rounded crown of the many small, pale-yellow flowers, followed by the small, round, black berries, have made it a treasured and widely planted tree of the streets and the gardens. It grows as a tall, broad, evergreen tree, reaching up to twenty metres or more, with the upright, branching trunk bearing the dense, rounded crown of the alternate, oval, pointed, glossy, aromatic leaves and, through the late spring, the many small, pale-yellow flowers in the loose clusters, followed by the small, round, glossy, black berries. It is a species of the flowering tree in the laurel family, and it is native to the warm regions of the eastern and the south-eastern Asia, while it is grown as a treasured shade tree, and it is known as the camphor tree.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The camphor tree has a real and distinguished place in the research. It has been studied in the chemistry of the natural products and the essential oils, since the aromatic leaves and the wood of the camphor tree are rich in the fine, volatile camphor compounds, and researchers have examined the tree and its constituents, while the value of the camphor compounds has drawn attention in the international pharmaceutical and botanical press, and the chemistry of the camphor tree has been of continuing interest across the world. The plant has also been studied in the forestry and the ecology, since it is a native of the warm regions of the eastern and the south-eastern Asia, and researchers have examined its growth, its timber and its role in the forest, while the ecology of the warm-region trees has been of continuing interest, and its dense, rounded, glossy crown has been of value. The species has also been studied in the horticulture and the land use, since it is a fine, broad, evergreen shade tree of the streets and the gardens, and researchers have examined its growth and its cultivation, while the growing of the camphor tree in the cities and the gardens has been of continuing interest, and its fine, glossy, aromatic foliage has been of value. For a tree of such fine value, the camphor tree has a rich and continuing record of study.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
Ecologically, the camphor tree is a generous tree of the garden. Its many small, pale-yellow flowers feed the bees and the many insects, and its small, round, black berries feed the birds, while its fine, dense, evergreen crown gives a fine cover and a shelter to the birds through the year.
Its economic value is real. The camphor tree is prized for its fine, aromatic, glossy foliage and its fine, straight wood, and its value has drawn attention in the international pharmaceutical and botanical press, while its fine, aromatic camphor compounds have been used in the making of the fine, scented articles and the traditional uses of the region. For a grower, the camphor tree is an easy and rewarding tree, and for a gardener it brings an aromatic, glossy, evergreen, berry-bearing tree to the warm garden. The seeds are easy to start — sow them just below the surface of a pot of moist, free-draining soil, keep them gently watered, and they’ll be sprouting steadily, growing on into an aromatic, glossy, evergreen, berry-bearing tree.
