True Ceylon Cinnamon is the dried inner bark of the evergreen tree associated with the species Cinamomum zeylunicum that is harvested during the rainy season in Sri Lanka from May to December and no part of this tree goes unused. It is when the bark is most flexible and easiest to work with. A wild cinnamon tree can grow to 65 feet (20 meters) high, but trees used for harvesting once reached about 10 feet are pruned down at about 2 years of age to produce an abundance of finer bark-yielding growth. Once the tree reaches 3 years of age it’s harvested following each rainy season.
Full tubes, typically 42 inches-long cinnamon sticks are prepared using scrapped inner bark of the plant joined together by small overlaps. The hollow has been filled with small pieces of the peel and thereafter dried under air curing.
