Anise raw material area
Characteristics of Anise
* Anise tree is a type of woody plant 6 - 12m tall for mature trees, appearing widely in the mountainous areas of Northern Vietnam and Southern China.
* The tree has green leaves all year round. Each tree produces 80-100kg of fresh fruit every year and bears fruit continuously for 40-50 years.
* Although it is called "anise", this is actually anise fruit. Anise fruit usually consists of 6-12 petals, arranged in a star shape, average diameter 2.5-3cm, thickness 6-10mm. When fresh, star anise is green; when ripe, dry and hard, it is pinkish brown. When dry, the wings will crack in two, revealing smooth, light brown seeds.
* Anise trees usually harvest ripe fruit in September or April, each crop lasting 3-4 months. Normally, an anise tree must be at least 5 years old to get its fruit. It can only be harvested twice a year, so this is considered a "rare" item.
