Cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum aromaticum, Cinnamomum zeylanicum), balk and leaves
- 🌿 The Cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum aromaticum or zeylanicum), is an easy, fast-growing tropical plant that thrives in pots, making it perfect for patios, balconies, or even sunny indoor spaces.
- 🌿 It naturally grows compact and bushy, so it's great for container gardeners - even those outside the tropics.
- 🌿 You don't need to wait years for fruit - because cinnamon is the bark and the leaves!
- 🌿 Once your tree is established, you can begin gently harvesting bark and fragrant leaves. Both parts of the plant are bursting with that signature warm aroma. Use the bark as a spice in baking, curries, or mulled drinks, and steep the leaves in teas or add them to savory dishes.
- 🌿 Cinnamon has been treasured for over 4,000 years. Ancient Egyptians used it in rituals, and Roman emperors burned it at funerals to show wealth - it was once worth more than gold. Its value helped drive global trade and exploration.
- 🌿 Today, cinnamon is celebrated not just for its flavor, but also its health benefits. It may help lower blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and fight bacteria and fungi. It's even linked to improved memory and brain function! The tree's powerful scent comes from cinnamaldehyde, a natural compound with medicinal properties.
- 🌿 Two main types of cinnamon:
🟤 Cassia Cinnamon – stronger, spicier, and most common in supermarkets
🟤 Ceylon Cinnamon – milder and sweeter, often called "true cinnamon"
🌿 In short: With a cinnamon tree near your kitchen, you’re not just growing a plant - you're growing a spice, a medicine, a piece of world history, and a daily source of joy!
🛒Start growing yours today - fresh, homegrown cinnamon is truly the spice of life!

- 💮 This plant comes in several varieties, each with unique flower size, shape, and growth habit - ranging from compact shrubs to vigorous bushes and climbing vines. It takes both sun and shade and makes a perfect container plant and indoor plant favorite.
- 💮 All varieties of Sambac are equally fragrant. To get more flowers, just use Sunshine Pikake plant booster and enjoy the perfume all day long!
- 💮 At Top Tropicals, we grow every known variety of Jasminum sambac in cultivation:
Arabian Nights - compact slow growing shrub with small delicate flowers
Belle of India - compact vine with long elegant petals, shade lover
Grand Duke of Tuscany - the most popular, vigorous bush with carnation-like flowers
Grand Duke Supreme - bigger, more vigorous version of Grand Duke with larger flowers
Gundu Malli - new hybrid between Arabian Nights and Grand Duke
Little Duke - more compact version of the Grand Duke
Maid of Orleans - vigorous full sun climber, great for hedges and fences
