The tree reaches around 45 feet. Cultivation is not needed as removing a tree creates rapid regrowth of the tree and it tends to crowd out all other trees in the area.

Soil Association
Licence Number DJ20489For 35 years we have endeavoured to create products which are as natural as possible and as long lived as practical. After all it is possible to add essential oils to cream from the fridge to create a nourishing moisture cream but it will last you only a few days.

When we say organic we mean it. Where the organically farmed oil is more expensive we list the conventionally farmed oil as an alternative,
