Cinnamomum camphora | Camphor Tree - 400-410cm, 70lt

Cinnamomum camphora, or Camphor Tree, is a large, spreading, rounded, evergreen tree with rough and fissured bark, and aromatic, glossy, waxy, ovate, green leaves that smell of camphor when crushed. Masses of small, inconspicuous, fragrant, white flowers bloom in spring and are followed by clusters of black, berry-like fruits. Cinnamomum camphora can grow in most soil types, clay, loam, and sand, and prefers fertile, slightly acidic, well-drained soils. Too wet soil can lead to a root rot. Once established, resistant to drought. It thrives in full sun or partial shade. It can withstand moderate frost. Very adaptable to urban conditions. Generally, pest-free and disease-free. Low maintenance plant, doesn’t require pruning. Camphor Tree is a long-lived, good-looking tree, perfect as a specimen plant or a nice shade-tree. Excellent as a street tree but its berries can become messy as they fall to the ground. It is mostly cultivated for camphor and timber production.
