Description:

The camphor tree is a dense broadleaved evergreen, growing up to 46m tall and spreading twice that wide with a trunk up to 4.6m in diameter. The inconspicuous tiny cream coloured flowers are borne in the spring. They are followed by large crops of fruit, comprised of round pea sized berries attached to the branchlets by cuplike little green cones. The berries first turn reddish, then ripen to black.

Camphor tree can be readily identified by the distinctive odour of a crushed leaf. Ho Wood and Ho Leaf are from the linalool chemotype known as Ho Sho.
