What are the varieties of agarwood trees What are the best varieties of agarwood

Agarwood plants, only 23 of which can produce incense, these plants have been listed in the International Convention on Endangered Wild Animals and Plants. At present, most of the agarwood in circulation in the world is formed from these kinds of incense trees: they are Guan Xiang Tree, Honey Xiang Tree, and Eagle Wood Fragrance Tree.

Guanxiang tree. The Guanxiang tree is native to the whole territory of Hainan Island, Guangdong, some counties and cities in Guangxi, in addition to the ancient production of incense in the mountainous areas of Yunnan and Guizhou, so Guanxiang is called a well-deserved national fragrance.

It takes seven or eight years for the incense tree to grow from the fragrant seedling to the fragrant tree (20 cm in diameter, about about a meter high) before it can be harvested. Guanxiang is born in the land where the yellow mud and sand and stone are mixed, the leaves are like boxwood, its seeds are like forsythia, it is born when it lands, it is planted to four or five years to cut off the tree body, only leave the ruler to cover it with soil, let it smoke the side branches for two or three years to open the soil and chisel the incense head, chisel a few pieces in October every year.

The old incense head is as hard as a stone, and it is not easy to rot even if it is eroded by rain. Some old incense heads are due to the light of the sun and the moon, and the stagnation of the frost and dew, giving birth to some balsam lumps, which is called raw knots. After hundreds of years, some fragrant trees decay and decay when rubbed by hand, and there must be clumps that are as hard as lacquer in them, which is called ripening.

Honey Fragrance Tree. Honey incense tree species are mainly distributed in Indochina Peninsula countries, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, and generally Hui'an agarwood is honey incense. The honey incense tree is also called the thousand-year-old tree, it can not be grown into a tree for a hundred thousand years, the roots are very large, it is cut by nature or man-made for four or five years after the incense, and the one who does not rot is agarwood.

The appearance of Hui'an agarwood is straight, the texture is soft, the oil texture is straight, the oil line is wide, loose but not dense, so it is not easy to sink. Once the oil is abundant and the water is immersed, it is a high-quality agarwood. Usually insect leakage is the majority, fragmented, very brittle, mainly smoked material, and carved material is extremely rare.

Eagle wood incense tree. Eagle wood agarwood trees are mostly produced near the equator, with long sunshine hours, abundant rainfall, rapid growth and tall trees, and the maturity time is 10-15 years.

The agarwood species of Xingzhou are mostly eagle trees. The appearance of the eagle wood appears to have a slight black line in the gray-brown wood flesh, much like the color of an eagle's wings. Eagle wood oil is usually formed from all sides, and the wood fibers are wrapped in the middle, so it is mostly cylindrical.

Due to the high growth rate, the yield is larger, but the quality is different.
