History: Historical usage of ocotea dates back more than 500 years. Ocotea species are distributed in subtropical and tropical regions, often at higher altitudes, and is related to the cinnamon species. The African and Madagascan species all have bisexual flowers (possessing both male and female parts), whereas the Ocotea trees grown in Amazon species have flowers that are unisexual (either male or female). Seed distribution of some Ocotea species is performed by frugivorous (Fruit eater) birds such as toucans. Only the female trees producing foliage suitable for distillation into essential oils. There is minimal, if any damage to the environment, and most importantly, Mother Nature is being respected.
