Boswellia aspleniifolia seeds (5 seeds).

The treasure of Socotra Island. A rare frankincense boasting a sculptural beauty reminiscent of ferns.

These are seeds of Boswellia aspleniifolia, a very rare shrub-like caudex native to the island of Socotra in Yemen. Its most distinctive feature is the development of sharp, deeply incised pinnate compound leaves that evoke the fern (Asplenium) from which its specific epithet is derived. While similar to B. socotrana of the same genus, it has a more edgy and wild leaf appearance, giving it a powerful impression.

The unique bark formed while surviving in harsh environments and the contrast with its refined leaves make it a masterpiece worthy of being called an artwork born from the nature of Socotra.

■Features and Appeal
Fern-like leaves: Sharp, delicately incised leaves create a unique space that is both cool and wild.
Beautiful bark and trunk texture: As it grows and matures, you can enjoy the characteristic peeling bark and trunk textures that change dynamically depending on the environment.
Individuality unique to seedlings: Boswellia plants exhibit diverse individual differences even in their natural habitat. Instead of forcing them into a mold through strict selection, you can encounter a one-of-a-kind tree shape by respecting the natural diversity of each seedling and nurturing it to bring out its inherent individuality.

■Sowing and Cultivation Tips (Reference)
Soaking: Soaking in lukewarm water or water diluted with a plant vitality enhancer (e.g., Menard) for several hours before sowing promotes smooth water absorption.
Temperature: Maintaining a high temperature of around 25°C to 30°C increases the germination rate.
Soil: Use well-draining soil such as clean, fine-grained Akadama soil or pumice.
Bottom watering: It is common to maintain moist soil through bottom watering until germination.
