Cinnamomum camphora seed
LATIN NAME: CINNAMOMUM CAMPHORA
COMMON NAME: Camphor Tree, Camphor Laurel
The camphor tree is a noble and aromatic tree of the warm eastern Asia, and its glossy, evergreen crown and its strong, camphorous scent have made it a tree of long and famous history, valued for its aromatic wood and its fragrant oil. It grows as a large, evergreen tree of the laurel family, reaching up to thirty metres, with a dense, rounded crown of glossy, oval, leathery leaves, which, when crushed, give the strong, camphorous scent, and, in the spring, small, inconspicuous, yellowish-green flowers, followed by small, round, dark, berry-like fruits, while the aromatic wood and the leaves of the tree yield the fragrant camphor, which has been valued for a very long time. It is an evergreen species, indigenous to the warm temperate to the subtropical regions of the East Asia, while it is known by various names, most notably the camphor tree.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The camphor tree has a genuine and distinguished place in both chemical and historical research. It has been studied in the chemistry of natural products, since the aromatic wood and the leaves yield the fragrant camphor, and the researchers have examined the tree, its many compounds and their potential uses, while the camphor has been valued for a very long time, in the medicine, the perfumery, the incense and the household use, and the chemistry of the camphor tree has drawn attention in the international natural-product press as an aromatic tree of the East, while the camphor is best appreciated as a subject of study and of the traditional use rather than a casual home remedy, since the concentrated camphor is not for the casual eating. The tree has also been studied in history and cultural research, since it is a tree of the long and famous history of the East, and the researchers have examined the history of the camphor trade and the many uses of the tree, while the camphor and its trade have drawn attention in the international cultural and trade press. The species has also been studied in ecology and forestry, since it is a noble and valuable tree of the warm East Asia, and its growth, its role in the forest and its management have been examined. For a tree of such fame, the camphor tree has a rich and distinguished record of research.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
To grow the Camphor Tree from seed, across the warm east Asian lowlands, the camphor tree is a great evergreen. Its small, greenish flowers feed the bees and the insects, and its dense, glossy, evergreen crown gives shelter and shade, while its dark, berry-like fruits feed the birds, and it is a historic presence in the forests, the villages and the streets of the region. Its economic value is enormous: the aromatic wood and the leaves yield the fragrant camphor, which has been valued in the medicine, the perfumery, the incense and the household use for a very long time, and its chemistry has drawn attention in the international natural-product press as an aromatic tree of the East, while the tree is also a noble and valuable tree of the streets and the avenues. To raise the camphor tree, sow the fresh seeds in pots of moist, rich, free-draining compost in a warm, shaded spot, keep them gently watered, and grow the little trees on in the warmth.
