Aquilaria microcarpa

This is my lone Aquilaria microcarpa. It is already 4 years old growing under  a partly shaded area. 



The wood of all members of this genus, when infected with a fungus, becomes a source of agarwood, which is very aromatic and highly valued as an incense, perfume and medicine. Conservation status is "Endangered". 😍🌱🌳



Among my Aquilaria collection, this is the only with smaller leaves
