Product Description

Boswellia sacra, the legendary Frankincense Tree, is a rare and revered deciduous tree native to the arid landscapes of Oman, Yemen, and Somalia. Its twisted, gnarled branches emerge from a thick, peeling papery bark, revealing a silvery-white trunk. The small, pinnate leaves grow in clusters, while delicate white to pale yellow flowers bloom in spring. When the bark is incised, the tree exudes golden, aromatic resin, famed for its use in perfume, medicine, and spiritual rituals for over 5,000 years. Adapted to extreme drought, it thrives on rocky, limestone slopes, making it a symbol of resilience.
