Latin name - Cinnamomum zeylanicum

 The Cinnamon tree (also known as Ceylon Cinnamon) is the finest of all Cinnamon varieties (yes, there are several) and produces the most sought after version of this delicious spice.  Native to the tropical island of Sri Lanka, Cinnamon trees grow very well in humid South Florida, and happen to also be a stunning addition to a landscape.  Bright pink new growth, deep green and glossy leaves, and a handsome bushy stature draw you in, but the delicious fragrance of the leaves and bark make you stay!

Ceylon Cinnamon is regarded as the highest quality of all types of Cinnamon, with a more delicate and refined flavor.  Once your tree is mature, harvest the spice by cutting small branches to peel and dry the bark, which can be used as Cinnamon sticks or ground into the familiar powder.  The leaves can also be used to impart flavor in marinades and sauces, as well as brewing tea. Planting a Cinnamon tree in your garden adds a rare and exotic touch and is sure to impress!
