Description Tree spices refer to spices originating from tree crops. Seventeen tree spices are grown in India, the
commercially important ones being nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, cassia, allspice. cambogia, kokam, tamarind,
pomegranate and curry leaf. Tree spices are a major source of flavoring and therapeutic agents. The
variability available in these crops is limited and also many species are being endangered and hence
conservation of the genetic variability is very important. Collection and conservation of the biodiversity
in tree spices has been one of the major mandates of Indian Institute of Spices Research, Calicut and the
. germplasm conservatories at IISR, Calicut consist of 1140 accessions of tree spices. This paper deals with
the diversity of tree spices available in our country, their conservation and utilization for crop improvement.
