Cinnamomum verum
The Cinnamon Tree is a small, aromatic evergreen that produces the well-known spice, cinnamon, from its bark. The tree has shiny, dark green leaves and can be grown in tropical and subtropical climates. The bark is harvested and dried to create cinnamon sticks, which can be used for cooking, baking, or medicinal purposes. The leaves also have a subtle, spicy aroma and can be used in teas or as a flavoring. Cinnamon trees are slow-growing but highly valued for their distinctive, aromatic contributions to cuisine.
