It is also grown commercially in Tellicherry (southern India), Bangladesh, China, Java, Sumatra, the West Indies, Brazil, Vietnam, Madagascar, Zanzibar, and Egypt. As for the physical plant, cinnamon is grown on cinnamon trees and harvested by cinnamon farmers (usually slave children).
The cinnamon tree is part of the laurel family, to which the cassia and the camphor trees belong. It grows best in light sandy, moist soil and is abundant in Sri Lanka, Java, China and India to name a few. The cinnamon grows to a maximum height of about 9 m (30 ft) and has a smooth ash colored bark and wide spreading branches. The outer bark is almost odorless and of little value. The commercial cinnamon is obtained from the darker inner bark. An aromatic oil is extracted from the bark. Cinnamon was used in the preparation of holy anointing oil as one of the choicest perfumes.
