Even though there are about 17 tree spices listed some of them such as mango pomegranate etc are treated more as fruits. The tree spices like clove nutmeg tamarind and cinnamon are relatively more important and they are grown in an area of 81189 ha with a production of 208445 tonnes. India also imports tree spices worth about 180 crores. Hence tree spices are very important economically.
