Cinnamomum septentrionale seed

LATIN NAME: CINNAMOMUM SEPTENTRIONALE

COMMON NAME: Northern Cinnamon

In the mountain valleys of the western hills, the northern cinnamon grows as a tall, evergreen tree with the large, oval, leathery leaves, glossy green above and silvery-white beneath, and the small, greenish flowers in panicles, the small, black, berry-like fruits ripening in the autumn. In time it steadily becomes a rounded crown, reaching 5-10 metres. Full sun is ideal, in deep, fertile ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The northern cinnamon appears in the studies of the laurel family of the western mountains, its silver-backed leaves and its aromatic wood keeping it in view in the work on the evergreen broadleaf trees and the aromatic timber trees of the region. The research looks at the way the silvery leaf undersides catch the light, the black berries ripen in the autumn, and the seed biology of the short-lived, oily seeds.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

In the sheltered garden, the northern cinnamon carries the glossy, silver-backed leaves that shimmer in the wind and gives the garden a tree of quiet elegance. The aromatic wood has its place in the regional traditions, and the tree makes the fine specimen, the evergreen shade tree and the tree of the mild, sheltered garden. It is a tree for the sheltered, shaded, deep and fertile place.

To grow the Northern Cinnamon from seed, sow the berries at once, fresh from the tree, on moist, leafy soil.

Sow the berries at once, fresh from the tree, on moist, leafy soil, and keep the young trees in the sheltered, shaded spot. The silver-backed leaves shimmer in the wind.

COMMON NAME: Northern Cinnamon

The northern cinnamon tree is a handsome, evergreen tree of the warm forests, and its fine, oval, glossy leaves and its small, inconspicuous, greenish-yellow flowers, followed by the small, dark, aromatic berries, have made it a valued tree of the warm garden and the region. It puts on growth and becomes an upright, leafy clump, reaching thirty to sixty centimetres. It is a species of the flowering tree in the laurel family, and it is native to the warm forests of the southern China, while it is grown for its fine, aromatic foliage and its fine form, and it is known as the northern cinnamon tree.

The northern cinnamon tree belongs to the laurel family, Lauraceae, and it is a species of the evergreen tree, native to the warm forests of the southern China, while it is grown for its fine, aromatic foliage and its fine form, and it is known as the northern cinnamon tree. It is prized for its fine, oval, glossy, aromatic leaves.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The northern cinnamon tree has a real and distinguished place in the research. It has been studied in the botany and the ecology, since it is a native of the warm forests of the southern China, and researchers have examined its relationships, its distribution and its role in the forest, while its place among the cinnamons of the region has drawn attention in the international botanical press as a tree of the warm forests. The plant has also been studied in the chemistry of the natural products, since the aromatic leaves and the bark of the cinnamons contain the fine, fragrant oils, and researchers have examined the oils and their constituents, while the chemistry of the cinnamon family has been of continuing interest across the world, and the study of the aromatic trees has been of value. The species has also been studied in the horticulture, since it is a handsome, evergreen, aromatic tree of the warm garden, and researchers have examined its growth and its cultivation, while the growing of the northern cinnamon in the garden has been of continuing interest, and its fine, glossy, evergreen foliage has been of value. For a tree of such fine form, the northern cinnamon tree has a rich and continuing record of study.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

Ecologically, the northern cinnamon tree is a generous tree of the garden. Its small, greenish-yellow flowers feed the bees and the many insects, and its small, round, dark, aromatic berries feed the birds, while its fine, glossy, evergreen crown gives a fine, dense shade and a cover to the birds through the year.

Its economic value is real. The northern cinnamon tree is prized for its fine, aromatic foliage, and its value has drawn attention in the international botanical and horticultural press as a tree of the warm forests, while its fine, dense, aromatic wood has also been valued in the region. For a grower, the northern cinnamon tree is a rewarding and stately tree, and for a gardener it brings a fine, glossy, aromatic, evergreen tree to the warm garden. The seeds are easy to start — give them a period of cold, damp storage in the fridge, then sow them just below the surface of a pot of moist, free-draining soil, keep them gently watered, and theyll be sprouting steadily, growing on into a glossy, aromatic, evergreen tree.
