Cinnamomum camphora is a fast-growing evergreen tree known for its wide, dense canopy and deeply furrowed bark. Reaching heights of 40 to 60 feet, it features glossy green leaves that release a pungent camphor scent when crushed. Native to East Asia, it thrives in warm regions and well-drained soils. Its wood and leaves are highly prized for producing therapeutic oils and natural insect repellents. While valued for shade and timber, it is considered invasive in some subtropical climates.
