Cinnamon fruit harvest

[buddyguygreen]

My cinnamon tree is loaded with fruit this year, I heard you can eat the flesh so I tried it and it has a pleasant slight cinnamon taste to them.

I have several small cinnamon trees maybe a year or two old. Funny but I never thought about the possibility of cinnamon trees bearing fruit. Thanks for the info! BTW, how old were your trees when the first fruited?

[buddyguygreen]

It’s around 20 years old, first fruited at about 13-14

Let's see now . . . I'm 75 . . .  and your tree first bore fruit at 13 to 14 . . . well now, there's another reason to hang on. LOL

Mine has fruited as well but I never thought about trying them! Good job Buddy. My tree is maybe 8 or 9 ft. and 5 ft wide. I love when they put out a new flush.
