Frankincense







This is another favorite tree. Break off a leaf or small branch and smell the wonderful aroma. No wonder the magi gave it as a gift to Jesus! I like the stumpy trunk and the thin leaves. Such a difference in texture. Notice the peeling bark?


The only thing is that I'm not sure how to prune it. I haven't done anything to it, and so it is pretty leggy. I'd like to prune it back and see if it will ramify a bit.
