General - Dragons Blood as known in commerce, has several origins, the substance so named being contributed by widely differing species. When ripe the berries are covered with a reddish, resinous substance which is separated in several ways, the most satisfactory being by steaming, or by shaking or rubbing in coarse, canvas bags.Sangre de Drago, spanish for "Blood of the Dragon," is a medium to large sized tree growing up 10 to 20 meters in height found throughout the tropics and the Amazon regions of South America. The genus Croton is a large one, with 750 species of trees and shrubs distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of both hemispheres. When the trunk of the tree is cut or wounded, a dark red sappy resin oozes out as if the tree is bleeding - earning its local name.
