I noticed one of my farmer friends here had harvested some cinnamon and was drying it on his patio... so I had to play copy-cat and process my own cinnamon. All you need to do to get cinnamon is to cut down a branch, scrape off the rough outer bark, then peel and dry the inner layer of bark. That's the cinnamon! Along the way to processing, though, I can into a couple of complications. First, there was a wasp nest in the tree. Second, my saw broke! After all that, though, I still processed enough cinnamon to keep us set for a year or more.

Those saws are amazing! I use one too :) My good friend who trims trees in Hawaii recommended it to me.
I did not know so much work went into this cinnamon. Thank you, that's awesome 👌
We have a flavour rich big cinnamon tree in our backyard. Though yearly the branches get cropped, we never harvested cinnamon out of it! Your video was cool and enlightening to try this trick next time! This educational fun video is nicely made though at times it seemed like you’re taking high risk hazards! Thank you. Loved it.
I am at 3:56 and had to pause to laugh! I really loved that you showed the reality of growing and harvesting a cinnamon tree!
Wow, I had no idea how difficult it is to process my favorite spice! I'll definitely enjoy it even more in my next cup of coffee.

Wow! If my fiance and I were in your (two sets of) shoes we would just be in tears we would be so happy! You guys are so fortunate to have such abundance on that property and to have this opportunity. I am so genuinely happy for you both. This was a great video, thank you for posting. I got my mom a juvenile cinnamon tree for Christmas a few years back, so I am now equipped with the method to procure cinnamon! It probably won't taste the same as we are here in Tampa, FL and you are much further south but hopefully it will still be tasty.

Dave I looked up how to harvest Cinnamon to show my husband and haven’t laughed this hard in as long as I can remember. You throwing a rock at a wasp nest is exactly what my husband will do. He loves throwing rocks. 🙄 Once he took down a wasp nest from our front tree with his squash racket (instead of a rock). Then your saw broke which reminded me of a time when my dad took my husband fishing and twice my husband threw his fishing pole into the lake as he “casted” his line. Thank you for the laughs. You just made of Valentine’s Day. 🤣🤣

Can you imagine if someone thought Dave2000 was back, so they jumped ahead to the 2:30 mark and just saw DTG hurling rocks at the tree and assumed that was part of the harvesting process? Then this mis-knowledge gets passed down from generation to generation - just from an irrational fear of Dave2000...

Thanks, you two, now I need a cinnamon tree in my life 🤣😂
Very nice my first time to watch how Cinnamon tree looks like. Rip for your great Saw.
I can't believe you bombed the wasp nest!!! 😂😂😂 I could expect it from anyone, but you. Next time you can cut of that branch where they have nest and leave it in the ground. I'm not a pro, but I've done it few times. You just to be calm and move slowly, taking pauses.
Great job with the cinnamon David! I bet that smelled spectacular! I love the smell of cinnamon in a hot pie or bread. Yum! So glad neither of you got hurt by the wasps. 🌾Merry meet 🌿

Hey man! I'm a conservation ranger from NZ and use "Silky saws" constantly. Sorry to hear you broke your blade... I wanted to just jump on here and say it happens ALL the time. I often find I can keep mine longer if I: - am mindful of constant downwards pressure into the cut AND - if cutting the full length of the blade.. To be not get comfortable the "rhythm" of the cut as it were... It's super common amongsts novice rangers to have broken saw tips. So, if happens to us all!!

I can literally hear the buzzing!!!
Oh, I already left a comment on this video but I just thought of a video suggestion. When I vacationed in the Dominican Republic, there was fruit everywhere- like on your property- and chickens! Which was fantastic to see. But, there was also some kind of pumpkin, squash or vining relative that apparently pretty much everyone grew everywhere! I couldn't find a single fruit to help me identify it, but the leaves and blooms were in probably 1/3 of peoples yards and/or businesses. This was in September and since then I have been hoping there will be some exotic squash that will thrive here in Tampa since everything I grow eventually gets powdery mildew. If you guys have noticed something like this around your area, or just have some awesome varieties there that you know most people don't know about here in the states it would be a really cool video! I would take notes of every variety to try lol

COOL! Wow, there is nothing you can tackle and accomplish, you knew how to deal with the angry wasps, and you got the piece of cinnamon log, you peel the inner bark and this is the cinnamon we all love, making yummy, gooey cinnamon rolls, cinnamon chewing gum, cinnamon tea, and of course the cinnamon toothpicks we'd enjoy chewing on in grade school! So sorry about your sawblade Sir David, thanks to you I now saw a glimpse of the tree, how big it gets and the shape of its leaves. Liked and wishing the Good Family an IRIE Week! :)And the Bahfeemus? Ah, probably hates the cinnamon scent! ;)

Today I thought: "Hum...Is cinnamon a tree, plant, or shrub? You always buy the small barks at the store in a little package... I was so amazed the cinnamon tree is a such, almost as large as cedar tree... I see you harvesting... For the first time, I see this health- tree... Thank you, David, for showing this. Very surprised! Watch out for your hand though, while carving! Having a little chain saw in the garden would be safe. Maranatha!
I love your videos
That's cinnamomum cassia if I remember correctly. That is the commercial cinnamon. I have a tree in Mississippi. I keep it in a greenhouse because the winter will kill it. Eventually I'll be able to do this. Ceylon cinnamon is the really good one though.

Oh do please include a link in the description to a saw that breaks when used for what it was intended. LOL
I think it's acasia cinnamon that contains higher amounts of coumarin a toxin compound as compared to Ceylon cinnamon which considered a true cinnamon. You can actually see the difference between the leaves or on its bark when it is already dried.
Gorgeous video, and very informative! Sometimes, it's easier to just watch someone _do_ the process, instead of just talking over a slideshow. Lol
