As of today, out of season, returns ~October. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Each year Boswellia sacra trees in Dhofar (southern Oman) are tapped after the khareef (monsoon) season, producing aromatic resin tears (frankincense).
Harvesting runs through the dry months and is managed locally; timing depends on the end of the humid season and local temperatures, with repeated tappings and several collection cycles per tree.
