The entry says that Vietnamese cinnamon (que) is produced "particularly" in the Quang Nam Province of Central Vietnam. That's not exactly true because one of the name for Vietnamese cinnamon is que Thanh Hoa. Besides Quang Nam, que is also known to be produced from the provinces Yen Bai and Thanh Hoa. Those two provinces are in the north of Viet Nam and the disruption of que production together with the lack of any trading between North Viet Nam and US during the Vietnam war are likely the reasons why que was not available during or immediately after that period. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirrordor (talk • contribs)

If you know these to be facts (have you been to these places?), then please add this to the article. If you have sources, in English or Vietnamese, that would be even better. Badagnani 04:27, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, if you have sources showing that Saigon Cinnamon (of this same species, not Cassia) is produced in other provinces of Vietnam, please add them. Badagnani (talk) 01:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name

If it's not produced in or near Saigon, why is it called "Saigon Cinnamon"? Badagnani (talk) 01:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Other species produced in Vietnam?

Is all "cinnamon" produced in Vietnam Saigon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum loureiroi)? Or are other species also grown commercially in Vietnam? Badagnani (talk) 01:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
