The Ceylon species of cinnamon tree (True Cinnamon) is only grow to its finest maturity in the tree's native mineral rich soil on the volcanic island of Sri Lanka.

Ceylon Cinnamon groves in Sri Lanka lie exclusively in its western and southwestern regions, north and south of the country's commercial capital, Colombo. The tropical sunshine and abundant rain in these areas provide an ideal habitat, The sweetest, most prized variety grows in the "silver sand" coastal belt of the Negombo district, just north of Colombo. The Ceylon cinnamon tree is pruned down hard two years after a seedling is planted out. This produces "tillering" - a profuse, bushy growth of bark-yielding twigs whose five-nerved, shiny, fragrant leaves. At blossom time the small, creamy-white flowers attract swarms of birds and bees, which find their spicy fragrance irresistible.
