Today, the Calophyllum Inophyllum tree is relatively popular in the Pacific region. It can reach a height of 10 or 15 meters with very knotty branches that produce large leaves of a dark green with pale yellow veins. Small white flowers are born at the branching of the leaves and give off a sweet perfume, but it is its fruits that are of great interest especially for the oil of Tamanu that is extracted from it.

The name TAMANU is a Tahitian word that specifically describes the Calophyllum Inophyllum, which grows in Tahiti (the Tahitensis variety). The evergreen Tamanu nuts grow in isolated grapes. They only have a diameter of 3 to 4 centimeters and turn dark red when they mature. Unlike most other nuts that produce vegetable oils, Tamanus fresh almonds are completely oil-free when they fall from the tree.
