Planted agarwood (Aquilaria) trees have various methods of resin production. In China, the most common method is drilling fire holes. This technique stimulates the agarwood tree to quickly secrete natural resin, and the resin can typically be harvested about one year after drilling. #Agarwood #Agarwoodtree #aquilaria #Chineseagarwood #沉香树 | Miki Lee

The agarwood tree begins releasing its fragrant resin as a natural response to stress or inoculation. Over time, the wood darkens and forms precious resinous layers known as gubal. This aromatic resin slowly develops within the trunk, creating rich, dark streaks that carry a deep and soothing scent. When harvested, the resin reveals its signature fragrance—earthy, sweet, and calming—making agarwood one of the most prized natural aromatics in the world. ✨🌿💎 #AgarwoodResin #FragrantGubal #Natura
