fast-growing, evergreen tree with dense crown. The plant is grown commercially
in China and Japan as a medicinal tree and also for its essential oil. Ho wood oil is
often considered as white camphor oil because of its lighter grade and it can
be blended more easily.
Ho wood gained its popularity when Linalool producing facility faced a major explosion in 1985. In order to meet the demand for linalool, Ho wood was grown to meet its commercial scale expectations. Ho wood essential oil is contained in the bark and branches of the tree and is generally extracted through a steam distillation process.
