Camphor
Camphora officinarum
Although we typically provide this tree, it is temporarily unavailable through our free tree program. It may be available for purchase from local nurseries.
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.
