Sandalwood is an ancient and mysterious rare tree species, mainly produced in hot and humid areas such as eastern India, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Southeast Asia, Australia and Fiji. It is a semi-parasitic plant, which grows very slowly and usually takes decades to become a useful plant. It is one of the slowest growing trees, and the mature sandalwood can be as high as 40 feet (about 12 meters). Sandalwood is very precious, and it must be parasitic on Chinese parasol trees, red bean trees, acacia trees and other plants at seedling stage to survive. Known as the "holy tree" in the religious field; Known as the "God of Wealth Tree" in Feng Shui; Historically, it was called the "Royal Tree" because it symbolized power and status. In modern market economy, it is called "golden tree", and in Australia, it is called "cash cow".
Indian sandalwood is characterized by white with yellow color, high oil content and lasting fragrance. Sandalwood produced in Australia, Indonesia and other places is inferior in texture, color and fragrance. So people are used to calling the sandalwood produced in India "old sandalwood" and the sandalwood produced in other places "new sandalwood".
