Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Verum)
A true collector's dream and very limited stock availability!
Once upon a time Cinnamon was worth more than gold! In Egypt it was sought for embalming and religious practices. In medieval Europe it was used for religious rites and as a flavouring. Later it was the most profitable spice in the Dutch East India Trading Company.
Cinnamon, also called Ceylon cinnamon, is a bushy evergreen tree of the laurel family (Lauraceae) and the spice derived from its bark. The spice consists of the dried inner bark and has a delicately fragrant aroma and a warm sweet flavour.
Cinnamon is used as flavoring in a variety of foods, from confections to curries to beverages, and is popular in bakery goods. The essential oil distilled from its bark fragments is used in food, liqueur, perfume, and drugs.
Seed grown and well established plants. Very rarely seen in NZ about 3+ years old.
Plant Care
Light |
They like morning sun, but protect them from direct afternoon sun light. They are happier in a warm shaded area. |
Water |
Plentiful water and seaweed juice. Do not like drought. |
Soil |
They love organic matter so soil rich with compost and free draining potting mix will be suitable. |
Fertilizer |
Feed regularly like every 3 weeks with tropical plant fertiliser of NPK 20-20-20. Less in winter. In a container they need fertilising every 4 months, best to use liquid fertiliser. |
Wind |
Not wind tolerant when young |
Frost |
Protect from frost, do not like drought |
Maturity |
4-5 years |
I have always wanted a cinnamon plant and was excited to receive this and as my first order. Packaged well for safe travel. The plant itself came with a few insect holes and a little yellow leafed. But with TLC it has bounced back nicely.
Thank you!
My cinnamon plant arrived today. Well packaged, and looks very healthy.
Thank you
Hello. Thankyou for your delivery of the Papaya this week. Beautifully packaged. My only suggestion is that you attach a label or pamphet with botanic name and necessary growing conditions for your plants. Your plants are excellent quality but I need to know how to look after them to keep them that way. The cinnamon plant is struggling with the appearance of burnt new leaves even though it has never dried out and is in a protected area. Have a very Merry Christmas
Nice healthy and superbly packaged plant. Only issue was some insect holes on a couple of leaves. Very happy.
