Description

Rosewood is a small evergreen tree now strictly controlled as an endangered species by the Government of Brazil. Due to the ever increasing controls that CITES has put on the harvesting of the Aniba rosaerodora tree, the amount of legal wood finding its way to oil distillers has significantly reduced to a point now where we have been unable to source a good affordable quality of Rosewood Oil on the international market.

Therefore we now offer Dalbergia Sissoo known commonly as North Indian Rosewood,  a fast-growing, hardy deciduous rosewood tree native to the Indian subcontinent and southern Iran. D. Sissoo is a large, crooked tree with long, leathery leaves and whitish or pink flowers.
