Agarwood, also known as eaglewood or gaharu, is a fragrant, dark resinous wood derived from the heartwood of certain Aquilaria tree species, primarily Aquilaria malaccensis. This highly valued wood, particularly the resin-impregnated portion, is known for its rich, unique aroma and is used in perfumes, incense, and traditional medicine. The fragrance develops when the tree is wounded or infected, triggering a defense mechanism that produces resin.

Key characteristics of the agarwood plant (Aquilaria species) :  

Fragrant Resin :  

The primary value of the agarwood plant lies in its aromatic resin, which forms within the heartwood in response to injury or infection.

Tree Structure :  

Agarwood trees are generally evergreen, growing to heights of up to 100 feet. They are found in tropical regions, particularly Southeast Asia.

Habitat :  

They thrive in tropical climates with well-drained soil, often found in hilly areas above 750 meters above sea level.

Growth :  

They are medium-sized trees that can grow naturally with other trees, having deep roots that don't interfere with neighboring plants.

Infection :  

The resin formation is often associated with fungal infections, such as Phaeoacremonium parasitica, which is a type of parasitic mould.

Cultivation :  

While naturally occurring agarwood is highly valued, artificial induction techniques are also being used to encourage resin production in
