Sandalwood is an evergreen, parasitic tree that burrows its rootsinto other trees. It can grow up to 9 meters (30 feet) high and hasa brown-gray trunk, many smooth slender branches, leathery leavesand small pink-purple flowers.
It can take thirty to sixty years for a tree to reach fullmaturity, when it is cut and distilled and the yellowish wood issold in thin scrapings. It is agreed that the best sandalwood oilis from Mysore in India.
