Dalbergia odorifera SEEDS
LATIN NAME: DALBERGIA ODORIFERA
COMMON NAME: Fragrant Rosewood
In the dry, open woods of the southern island, the fragrant rosewood grows as a medium, deciduous tree with the feathery, pinnate leaves and the small, creamy-white flowers in loose sprays, the flat, thin, papery pods ripening in the autumn. It steadily establishes a rounded crown, eventually 5-10 metres tall. Give it full sun and deep, fertile ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The fragrant rosewood occupies a famous place in the studies of the great timber trees of the south, its scented heartwood and its papery pods keeping it in view in the work on the rosewood-class trees of the region and the conservation of the over-collected forest trees. The research looks at the way the pinnate leaves colour and fall, the flat pods ripen and split, and the seed biology of the flat, short-lived seeds.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
In the tropical garden and the plantation, the fragrant rosewood carries the open, feathery crown and develops the scented, richly figured heartwood that has made it one of the most sought-after timbers of the east. The slow-growing tree is a long-term investment, and the tree makes the fine timber tree, the conservation tree and the tree of the warm, dry garden. It is a tree for the open, sunny, deep and well-drained place.
To grow the Fragrant Rosewood from seed, pour boiling water over the flat seeds and let them cool, then sow them.
Pour boiling water over the flat seeds and let them cool, then sow them, and keep the young trees in the open, sunny spot. in pots of sandy soil, keep them lightly watered, and the young trees get away in the full sun. The feathery leaves unfold with the warm season.

COMMON NAME: Fragrant Rosewood
The fragrant rosewood is a handsome, deciduous tree of the warm forests, and its fine, airy foliage and its rich, fragrant heartwood have made it one of the most valued of the fine-wood trees. It develops into a rosette of leaves, staying under a metre. It is a species of the tree in the pea family, and it is native to the southern China and the Hainan, while it is prized for its fragrant heartwood, and it is known as the fragrant rosewood or the scented rosewood.
The fragrant rosewood belongs to the pea family, Fabaceae, and it is a species of the deciduous tree, native to the southern China, while it is prized for its fragrant, reddish-brown heartwood, and it is known as the fragrant rosewood. It is a tree of the warm forests, valued for its fine wood and its fragrant timber.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The fragrant rosewood has a real and distinguished place in the research. It has been studied in the forestry and the wood science, since its rich, fragrant heartwood has made it one of the most valued of the fine woods, and researchers have examined its timber, its growth and its conservation, while the pressures on the wild tree have drawn attention in the international conservation and forestry press as a tree of the warm forests, and the sustainable cultivation of the rosewood has been of the greatest interest. The plant has also been studied in the chemistry of the natural products, since the fragrant heartwood contains a range of the aromatic compounds, and researchers have examined these constituents, while the chemistry of the fragrant woods has been of continuing interest, and the plant is best appreciated as a subject of study and of the forest rather than a casual remedy. The species has also been studied in the horticulture and the afforestation, since it is a handsome, fine-foliaged tree of the warm gardens, and researchers have examined its cultivation, while the planting of the rosewood in the garden and the plantation has been of continuing interest, and the selection of the better-growing forms has been of value. For a tree of such value, the fragrant rosewood has a rich and continuing record of study.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
Ecologically, the fragrant rosewood is a generous tree of the garden. Its fine, airy foliage gives a light, dappled shade, and its small, pea-like flowers feed the bees and the insects, while its flat, papery pods carry the seed of the future tree.
Its economic value is real. The fragrant rosewood is prized for its rich, fragrant heartwood, and its value has drawn attention in the international wood and conservation press as one of the fine woods of the warm forests, while its timber has been treasured in the carving, the furniture and the incense of the region. Because the wild tree has been under pressure, it is best grown with care, and the conservation of the fragrant rosewood has been of the greatest importance. For a grower, the fragrant rosewood is a rewarding and precious tree, and for a gardener it brings a fine, airy, fragrant tree to the warm garden. The seeds are easy to start — soak them in warm water for a day, 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 fine, airy, fragrant tree.
It is used as a wood product and in folk medicine. This valuable wood is known in China as Huali. Most of the higher quality furnitures from the Ming and early Qing dynasties were made of Huali, now known as Huanghuali,Four compounds isolated from the root of this plant have been shown in a laboratory to have antioxidant properties.It is threatened by habitat loss. fragrant rosewood seed
