Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Cinnamomum verum - Ceylon Cinnamon, True Cinnamon
Everybody knows the bark of the tropical Ceylon cinnamon: It is dried and provides the well-known cinnamon spice. But not only that: The leaves have an aromatic scent and the red shoots are eye-catching.
It is almost not possible to imagine a spice rack without the unique, spicy scent of dried cinnamon bark. The aroma is mainly contained in the reddish bark of the Cinnamon tree (Cinnamonmum zeylanicum, Cinnamomum verum). For harvesting it, the bark is removed from cut off branches. The dark green leaves contain essential oils and are used as a spice in all tropical regions of the world. Young leaves have a pink hue at emergence. The first harvest can already begin with a small plant when Cinnamon grows even more bushy. The small, yellow flowers and subsequent fruits are quite rare in our country. These tropical plants of the laurel family need warm and humid conditions throughout the year.
Quality: worldwide known spice plant; leaves can be used as spice; evergreen & compact growing trees with red young leaves
Use: all year round in a heated winter garden or bright room; from May to September possibly outdoors in well protected places (balcony, terrace, garden)
