Here is the renowned wild cinnamon tree.  Its natural habitat is at the edge, or in the middle of, coastal forests throughout the Caribbean area.  It is relatively common in the Florida Keys and on down south through the various islands to coastal America, wherever birds might happen to visit.  

In most of its range it is a shrubby tree up to 15 feet or so in height.  But, in the mountains of Jamaica, it can get much larger (there are reports of some up to 50').

Fragrant, glossy leaves have a natural elegance, making it suitable as an accent tree.  With regular trimming, you  can keep it at whatever height you wish, from 6' up to 15'+.

Compared with some of the showiest plants that are often used in landscaping, the flowers of the wild cinnamon could be called "subdued," or, may be considered by some people to have figuratively given up before quitting time.

In reality, the universal forces of yin and yang are in perfect harmony, making the flower the exact right size; it is human perspective that is out of balance.

The flowers are a good source of nectar for the fluttering and buzzing inhabitants of the surrounding countryside.

The fruits are popular with birds.  When they come across some, they alert their friends by text message and send them the GPS coordinates.  The birds come in small groups to discreetly feed on the fruits; you will never see a Facebook page-organized "flash mob" descend on the tree and strip it bare in seconds.

You have a choice between a football-field type of yard, or your own personal forest.
