Boswellia Neglecta Frankincense Seedlings (10 per order) Highlights

  • Drought Tolerant: Boswellia neglecta is well-adapted to arid and semi-arid climates. It thrives in well-drained soils and requires minimal watering once established.
  • Slow Growing Trees: These trees are known for their slow growth rate, which contributes to the density and quality of their resin. Patience is key for mature yields.
  • Resin Production: The primary value of Boswellia neglecta is its aromatic resin, used in incense, perfumes, and traditional medicine. Resin yield can vary with tree age and health.
  • Sun Loving: Boswellia neglecta prefers full sun exposure for optimal growth and resin production. It is best planted in open areas with ample sunlight.
  • Tropical/Subtropical Climate: Native to arid regions of East Africa, this species thrives in warm climates with distinct dry seasons. It is not frost-tolerant.
