Travel A road trip in Burgundy reveals far more than fine wine. Then, fertilize every spring, following label instructions. There are many species of cinnamon including these varieties:. You can first harvest your cinnamon two to three years after planting and then every two years after that. Cut off individual branches, or cut the entire tree at the trunk. Trees growing in the ground often produce new shoots that will become a new tree.
Scrape away the outer bark until you see the yellowish-orange layer beneath, which is the cinnamon. Peel strips of this cinnamon layer with a sharp knife or paint scraper, stopping when you see the lighter core. Let the pieces dry indoors in a single layer for about a week. They will curl into the typical shape you see in cinnamon sticks.
Then, you can grind them or leave them in stick form. Store your cinnamon in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, and it should keep for a couple of years.
Gardeners outside of cinnamon's growing zones often grow their plants in containers and keep them indoors or in a greenhouse during cold weather. Cinnamon species generally don't reach their full size in containers, but they can still yield their fragrant cinnamon bark after a few years. Start with a large container that's at least 18 inches across and 20 inches deep to give your cinnamon plant room to grow and mature.
The container also should have ample drainage holes. Use a loose, well-draining potting mix, and water whenever the top inch of soil dries out. Bring the plant outdoors during the summer to give its growth a boost in the sunlight. Indoors, a south-facing window is ideal. Mist your plant to boost humidity as needed. And fertilize during the growing season spring to fall with a liquid fertilizer, following label instructions.
You can make new cinnamon plants from stem cuttings.
