True cinnamon tree is a small evergreen tree characterized by its aromatic, leathery leaves that are dark green in color and measure about 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) in length. The leaves are oval in shape with a pointed tip and three distinct veins running the length of the leaf. The bark is typically rough and brown, which can peel in long strips. This plant produces small, white flowers in umbels, later giving way to dark blue berries about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) in diameter.
