Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), or true cinnamon, is an attractive evergreen tree prized for its fragrant inner bark, which is dried and rolled into the familiar cinnamon quills. New leaves emerge a striking red before maturing to glossy green, making it ornamental as well as useful. Warm and sweetly aromatic, cinnamon flavours desserts, masalas, chai and curries and is valued in Ayurveda for digestion and blood-sugar support. Native to humid tropical Asia and grown in South India and the islands, it thrives in warm, moist conditions and can be kept as a bush by regular coppicing for easy home bark harvests.

How much sunlight does Cinnamon need?

Is Cinnamon safe for pets?
The plant and culinary cinnamon are non-toxic in normal amounts. Large quantities or concentrated oil may upset pets, so use sensibly.
Does Cinnamon need repotting?
Repot young container plants every two to three years, then move to the ground in a warm climate, or keep coppiced in a large pot.
How do I propagate Cinnamon?
It can be grown from fresh seed or semi-hardwood cuttings rooted in warm, humid conditions. Seed should be sown promptly.
What common problems affect Cinnamon?
Leaf miners, scale insects and cold damage are the main issues. Keep it healthy, sheltered from frost and inspect leaves regularly.
When does Cinnamon flower?
Small, pale greenish-yellow flowers appear in spring and summer, though the tree is grown mainly for its bark, not its flowers.
Can I grow Cinnamon indoors?
