HARVESTING

The branches and leaves of cajeput are harvested after 2 years of cultivation. They can be harvested 3 times a year, but with good care, it’s possible to harvest 4 times a year, with an average yield of 9-12 tons per hectare per year.

DISTILLATION

Material for distillation: cajeput leaves. Cajeput leaves used for essential oil distillation should be harvested in the mid-morning when the sun is not too intense and the leaves are photosynthesizing strongly to obtain a high oil content. After harvesting, cajeput leaves can be dried in the shade or lightly dried or used fresh for oil production.

The primary method for cajeput essential oil production is steam distillation.
