Camphor Tree (Cinnamomum camphora)

Camphor Tree (Cinnamomum camphora)

Camphor Tree (Cinnamomum camphora) is among the most important ornamental and medicinal trees, although it can easily take the form of the bush. Evergreen, with deep green leaves, is of medium-sized and has a fast annual growth rate. The natural shape of the tree canopy is naturally oval but with the passage of time it tends to take the form of an umbrella. This event, combined with the dense foliage of Camphor, makes it suitable for places where the demand is - among other things - shading. An easy-growing tree, with no pests and diseases inpractical, can be planted almost anywhere and in places either in the aggravated environment of cities or in those of coastal areas and even where water is scarce - because of its high drought resistance - or poor quality. It is one of the most important evergreen ornamental shade trees, suitable for any Mediterranean garden, which is exploited accordingly in gardening and landscaping, unfortunately not to the extent that it should, because it is relatively unknown.

It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the plant, such as the size of the pot, its height, age and shape. Large trees are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
