The common name is actually, "cinnamon tree." The tree is native to Sri Lanka and is known as the "laurel tree" there. The scientific name of that tree is cinnamomum zeylanicum.Common cinnamon in your basic grocery store (in the U.S.) usually comes from the cinnamomum cassia tree. The cassia form is darker and a little more bittersweet (but cheaper.) Both trees are types of evergreens and grow best in a tropical environment.

The branches harvested this way are processed by scraping off the outer bark, then beating the branch evenly with a hammer to loosen the inner bark. The inner bark is then prised out in long rolls. Only the thin (0.5 mm (0.020 in)) inner bark is used; the outer, woody portion is discarded, leaving metre-long cinnamon strips that curl into rolls ("quills") on drying. Once dry, the bark is cut into 2.0-3.9 in lengths for sale.
