Did you Know?
​Sandalwood trees are hemiparasitic, meaning they can survive independently but often attach their roots to nearby plants to extract additional nutrients through specialized structures called haustoria, which can stunt the host plant’s growth. They grow slowly, typically taking 15–30 years to develop high-quality heartwood suitable for oil extraction. The heartwood is dense and aromatic, and its fragrance can persist for decades or even centuries if properly stored.
