Whilst there are many types of Aquilaria, there is 3 of particular species of interest to us regionally, 3 historical Aqualiaria / Gaharu species, namely, Malaccensis, Crassna and Sinensis with a ‘new’ 4th sub-species of Sinensis called Kynam.

​

The species of Aquilaria that produce agarwood are;

​

• Aquilaria acuminata, found in Papua New Guinea, Indonesia & Philippines

• Aquilaria apiculata, found in Philippines

• Aquilaria baillonil, found in Thailand and Cambodia

• Aquilaria banaensae, found in Vietnam

• Aquilaria beccariana, found in Indonesia

• Aquilaria brachyantha, found in Malaysia

• Aquilaria crassna found in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam

• Aquilaria cumingiana, found in Indonesia and Malaysia

• Aquilaria filaria, found in New Guinea, the Moluccas, and Mindanao (Philippines)[35]

• Aquilaria grandiflora, found in China

• Aquilaria hirta, found in Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia[36]

• Aquilaria khasiana, found in Bangladesh and India.

• Aquilaria malaccensis, found in Indonesia, Malaysia, Laos, Thailand, and India

• Aquilaria microcarpa, found in Indonesia and Malaysia

• Aquilaria rostrata, found in Malaysia

• Aquilaria sinensis, found in China and Laos

• Aquilaria subintegra, found in Thailand

​

The 3 Species of Interest

Our principle focus within the 3 historical species of Aquilaria / Gaharu is that of the Sinensis species because this is not only one of the fastest growing Aquilaria species (Generating a medium-term return to harvest) but it is also the 'tastiest' tea variety in addition.

 

All 3 historical species of Aqualiaria of interest require assistance with an inoculum to help accelerate the process of Agarwood resin production, this is in direct contrast to Kynam, a sub-species of Sinensis in which Agarwood is naturally occurring from as early as 2 years of age without the need of a formulated inoculum. 

​

Furthermore, Gaharu trees are one of the few forestry crops in the world that we are aware of that can be not only a tree to form the main products, used for intercropping products but can also serve as a reforestation tree. This is especially true when you match the correct species of Aquilaria to the indigenous landscape of Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia. For this reason as call out to all parties involved to look at this tree and see that it is truly unique in all its features.
