Cinnamon Tree

$29.90 ($29.90-$49.00 choose a size)

Highly ornamental tree and the source of cinnamon spice. The beautiful red new growth is highly distinctive. The spice itself is the inner bark that is peeled from the branches after 2 years. Scrape the outer bark, then peel the inner bark, leave for a day so that the inner bark curls into cinnamon sticks as it dries. They are distinctive in the many layered quill they produce that, when crushed, will shard rather than snap. Cinnamon is a very elegant and useful aromatic, much kinder to the palate than other spices. It imparts a distinctively sweet flavour when used. The leaves themselves are higher in clove oil than cinnamaldehyde, the active component of the sweet aromatic scent of cinnamon. Weed Warning: Can be invasive in tropical areas

Papaya - Yellow H13

$18.90 ($7.90-$19.75 choose a size)

Yellow Fleshed Papaya. Vigorous and heavy cropping selection. Yellows purportedly do better in cooler climates than red varieties. Still with that great tropical papaya flavour. Partner with lime juice for a zesty refreshing snack. Dioecious variety- Male and Female Flowers on different plants. Plant multiple Papayas for fruit set in dioecious varieties.
