Harvesting begins in September, after the ‘Khareef’, or monsoon, ends in the Dhofari region. Small cuts are first made on the tree to signal the start of the season, allowing a few drops of sap to appear. After two weeks, the tree releases larger amounts of resin. Another week is then left for the resin to harden before it is carefully collected by hand.
