Cinnamon Tree

The cinnamon tree prefers a full sun to partial shade, warm, and very sheltered location. It is frost-sensitive and only grows reliably in tropical to subtropical climates.

The soil should be loose, humus-rich, and well-drained. A slightly acidic pH value (approx. 5.5–6.5) is ideal. The plant requires consistent moisture; waterlogging should be avoided.

The plant grows as an evergreen tree and usually reaches 8 to 15 meters in height.
It is valued primarily for its bark as a true cinnamon spice and its high economic importance.
