Frankincense and myrrh are perhaps best known for their biblical connotations. But this tree sap has been prized across the world for over 6,000 years. These fragrant incense pieces come from the Burseraceae family of trees and are found across the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. But despite recent attempts to protect these trees, they could soon be headed for extinction. So what makes frankincense and myrrh so expensive?

The irony in the resin trying to protect itself is the reason for their extinction

Most pants r like that in regards to humans..think spicy peppers the capsaicin is a poison ment to protect the plant but instead we seek it out for its spiciness I dont remember who but someone said the best evolutionary trait a plant or animal can have is to be useful to humans in some way ...if they do that then we will plant fields and fields of that plant accross the globe help and protect it (corn, lawn grass, fruit trees, alo vera, pigs, cows, chickens etc) in that way we humans help spread the genes of that species accross the planet and ensure its species longevity... And if there not useful well we will make way for the things that r usefull

I would think that it would be obvious that the trees are not reproducing or dropping seed because they're spending all of their effort in healing from damage versus dropping seed.

Also, trees sense their being 'attacked and communicate with others nearby. This is why elephants in Africa graze quickly before their leaves become poisonous and have to move to another location

My brother took it upon himself to hack a bunch of branches off one of our Mullberry trees, it took 5 years for it to start producing berries again. It does make considerably more berries now, and there are a ton of branches. There are also like 5-6 new trees popping up near it, shot up from the roots of the one that got hacked (Edit: figured this out when I tried to relocate them). I think if they left alternating portions of those trees alone for a few years, they would see a massive resurgence.

@@mohdhafidz6268 I understand the need outweighs the risk, but a market that cannot sustain itself will die eventually. If nothing can be done, so be it, they need to start looking for something to replace it, before it dies. If they find another source it could save that market, as well as create more opportunity. I am sure it is easier said than done, and they likely spend all day looking for more ways to make income.

@thinkinginsideout4053 2 года назад

In my theory, I suggest the opposite. What I understand in working with some other crops, induced stress such as tapping trees should create response from the plant to produce more flower that afterwards produces seeds for it to ensure survival of its progeny.

@Nghilifa Год назад

We have myrrh here in Namibia, we don't harvest it until the resin detaches from the tree(s) and hit the ground. This way, we don't harm/injure the trees, thus ensuring that we use it sustainably, which we have done for centuries upon centuries. Smells heavenly!

Part of the issue appears to be these trees on unmanaged land.

You'd have to rotate them for years at a time, sadly.

Jehovah witnesses take the name of the Lord Jehovah in vain. Most people have the spiritual mark of the beast which has to do with worship. For about 2,000 years people have been worshipping the dragon (Satan) and the Roman kingdom catholic (universal) church. The Roman emperors and papacy are the 4th beast kingdom of Daniel and 1st beast of Revelation 13. The sinning Roman church is the woman riding the beast and is the mother of harlots (every sundaykeeping church and those who keep the doctrine of men) and abominations of the earth (Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Bahaism, Atheism, etc.) We should worship God our Father and respect each holy day, each new moon, and each sabbath as written in Colossians 2:16, Isaiah 66:23, Ezekiel 46:3, Numbers 10:10, etc. If they say we cannot buy or sell without the vaccinejab, then that is the mark of the beast.

@@superyachtchef so what do you think we should use instead? metal - which would most likely be very expensive for furniture, plastic - very cheap but even worse for the environment, maybe hemp? same issue there. do you expect us to not create houses or furniture? what they’re doing in this video isn’t sustainable so it’s not a good example but cork farming in Portugal is. they end up with more trees over time while still making profit from the bark. i get where you’re coming from and I definitely think we should be trying to find a more sustainable replacement but I don’t think as of right now there’s any reasonable replacement for wooden furniture, but if you do I’d like to hear what you think.
