ABSTRACT

Cinnamon plants are grown as bushes. When plants are two years of age they typically measure about 2 m in height and about 8-12 cm at the base. At this stage they are ready for harvesting. The commercial products of cinnamon are quills, quillings, featherings, chips, cinnamon bark oil and cinnamon leaf oil (Fig. 5.1). The most commonly produced product is cinnamon quills.
