Wintergreen is mostly found in the wild, and hardly cultivated. It is a perennial plant which grows up to 4-8 inches in height once fully matured. It requires partial sunlight and well-drained soil for its growth. It is resistant and can survive nutrient rich and poor soil, though soil acidity should be between 4.5-6. It blooms during summer and has white and pink flowers. The mountainous regions of Deqin, Lijiangyongsheng, Daliyangbi, Eryuan, Weishan, Yunlong, Baoshan, Lincang, and Simaojinggu in China are home to most of the wild wintergreen trees. The majority of oil production in China takes place in the southeast and northeast regions as well as Yunnan. Wintergreen oil is extracted from the leaves of the plant. Natural material is first fermented, and then distilled to acquire pure oil. Currently, the demand and supply of the oil are balanced in the market. Price is also holding steady.
