Cinnamonum camphora - Camphor

The elegant, arching canopy of the evergreen camphor tree provides excellent shade all year round. This graceful giant is known for its wide-spreading shape and its refreshing herbal and spicy scent. It produces attractive bundles of dark blue berries and small inconspicuous flowers. Formerly known as Cinnamomum camphora - this is the same tree.
