The Physical Appearance of a Cinnamon Tree

The cinnamon tree is actually a bushy evergreen belonging to the laurel family. It can grow up to 15 feet tall and can have multiple stems that are brownish-dark grey in color. The leaves are glossy, dark green with delicate yellow flowers, followed by black-blue berries. The bark when scraped off has an aromatic flavor thanks to its essential oils which make it a popular ingredient for cooking.

Harvesting and Usage

Cinnamon trees usually harvested after two or three years of growth. The farmers cut down the entire stem, leaving five or six inches at the base so that the tree can regrow again. Once cut down, culled into long strips and dried in the sun until they curl into quills. Once done, then ground into powder and sold as “cinnamon” in stores around the world.
