Boswellia (frankencense)
Hello,
I'm interested in a boswellia plant, this plant produces frankencense which is used in the Catholic Church. Up to now no one can help me to get such a plant. Perhaps some one know where I can get a plant. Thank you for your response. Best regards, Niek |

Re: Boswellia (frankencense)
Niek - your best bet is if you can find someone in Saudi Arabia, Yemen or the Arabian Peninsula in general. I don't think my contacts there can help. Good luck!

Re: Boswellia (frankencense)
My interest was sparked to do a little reading on this and from I can gather the sap is taken from very mature trees. I saw seeds for sale from several sites when I did a search on them although after reading about these trees I'd be leary to buy any as I'd be afraid they'd not be viable. This was a pretty good article about these trees.

Re: Boswellia (frankencense)
Niek,
I'll PM you a little later with the results of the internet search. I am off to the dentist for damage control with an old root canal. Old teeth with old crowns equal bad news I'm afraid. Deb

Re: Boswellia (frankencense)
Thank you Deb for your research on boswellia seeds.
I didn't know the existence of the Google Product Search. I think this option is only available in the US. It's nice to search on google and see what the price is of the products.\ Again, many thanks. Best regards, Niek |

Re: Boswellia (frankencense)
I was reading today about the loss of habitat for Frankincense trees in northwest Africa.
According to GRIN, there are 5 to 6 recognized species of Boswellia. One of them is native to southern India (Boswellia serrata) and is not cultivated for the oil sold as Frankincense in the western world. The other 5 are cultivated for Frankincense oil in northwest Africa and the Arabian peninsula, with the traditional source being Boswellia sacra. The African Boswellia sp. will probably survive in temperate parts of Florida and southern California, plus plenty of other temperate zones in the world. We know from Susan's Post that it survives in Tennesee! Is anyone else growing this plant?
