Product Description

The Boswellia sacra, also known as the Frankincense tree, is a small, deciduous tree with a distinctive gnarled trunk, peeling papery bark, and aromatic resin. It produces small, pinnate leaves and delicate white to pale yellow flowers. The tree thrives in harsh, arid environments, often growing in rocky, well-drained soils. Its prized frankincense resin, harvested from its bark, has been used for centuries in perfumes, incense, and traditional medicine. Boswellia sacra is highly drought-tolerant and well-adapted to extreme conditions.
