Cinnamomum camphora
Also known as: camphor tree, camphorwood or camphor laurel

Camphor has been used for many centuries as a culinary spice, incense, medicine, essential oils, and smokeless gunpowder. It is also an insect repellent and a flea-killing substance.

It is a large evergreen tree that is native to China south of the Yangtze River, Taiwan, southern Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, and has been introduced to many other countries.
It can grow to 50-100 ft. (15-30 m) tall at a slow rate. The leaves have a glossy, waxy appearance and smell of camphor when crushed. In spring, it produces bright green foliage with masses of small white flowers. The species is a hermaphrodite (which has both male and female organs). It produces clusters of black, berry-like fruit around 1 cm (0.39 in) in diameter. Its pale bark is very rough and fissured vertically. 

Suitable for: light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils and prefers well drained moist soil. Suitable pH: acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils. It can grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade. It can be invasive in some regions. USDA zone 9-11 and is frost tender.
*The plant is poisonous in large quantities. Large doses can cause respiratory failure in children.

NO RETURNS/REFUNDS/REPLACEMENTS ON SEEDS

Most specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate.

Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. These factors are totally out of The Plant Attraction's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or mistakes. Since 2006 we have been doing our best to hand sort and provide the freshest, cleanest harvest that is free of defects and bugs.
