Boswellia frereana - known as Maydi incense tree - is one of the most sought-after Boswellia species of all. While many types of frankincense originate from Oman or Ethiopia, Maydi is closely associated with Somalia and has been prized there for generations. As a plant, Boswellia frereana fascinates with its characterful, gnarled growth, drought-resistant nature and strong adaptation to stony, nutrient-poor soils. For collectors, it is a top choice if you want to cultivate a genuine frankincense tree - not just „any Boswellia“, but a species with a real history, name and tradition. Use These seeds are ideal for: Collectors and lovers of rare Frankincense tree species Ethnobotanical cultures and special gardens Pot and greenhouse cultivation (dry/warm) long-term cultivation of a genuine Maydi incense tree The focus is clearly on botanical and horticultural cultivation. Anyone interested in frankincense, boswellia and resin trees will find a highly exciting species with collector's value here. Growing the seeds The cultivation of Boswellia frereana is best achieved with warmth, plenty of light and a strong mineral substrate. Important: too dry is better than too wet - waterlogging is the most common cause of failure. Substrate: very permeable/mineral (e.g. 60 % sand, 30 % pumice/gravel, 10 % low-humus soil) Sowing: Place the seeds on top and press down only lightly, covering them minimally at most Humidity: Evenly slightly damp, but never wet; good ventilation Temperature: ideal 24-30 °C (constantly warm = better germination) Light: bright, no blazing midday sun on seedlings Germination time: Usually 2-6 weeks, occasionally longer After germination, slowly acclimatize the young plants to drier conditions. Water moderately during the growth phase and keep dry in winter. A sunny location, air circulation and a strictly mineral substrate are crucial in the long term. Worth knowing �� Maydi (Boswellia frereana) is considered by connoisseurs to be the „king“ of the mild incense types. This is not only due to the famous scent of the resin, but also to its cultural roots: in Somalia, frankincense is traditionally used in everyday life - to scent rooms, clothing and in rituals of purification and focus. Botanically, Boswellia frereana belongs to the same family as myrrh (Commiphora) and other resinous trees. These Burseraceae are masters at adapting to drought: they store resources, reduce evaporation and grow where other plants have long since given up. This is precisely what makes them so attractive to collectors - each plant develops its own sculptural character over the years.
