Inside Our Plantations

A closer look at the cultivation that powers our brand.

OudLink's primary plantation is located on red-earth hills outside Maoming, Guangdong — over a hundred hectares of cultivated Aquilaria sinensis under CITES registration. Founded in 2008 with roughly a thousand saplings, the original cohort has matured into the first commercial harvest, and rolling replanting maintains continuous productive yield. The plantation hosts our distillation facility and CITES export office on-site.

Maoming — Our Flagship Site

Our flagship plantation sits on the red-earth hills outside Maoming, Guangdong, where the subtropical climate is ideal for Aquilaria sinensis.

Here we manage over 200 hectares of trees ranging from young saplings to mature, ready-for-harvest Aquilaria.

Why Maoming

Maoming sits in subtropical Guangdong, with red lateritic soil and a climate that aligns with Aquilaria sinensis's native range. The combination of sufficient rainfall, well-drained hill slopes, and the species' historical regional presence makes Maoming one of the more suitable Chinese terroirs for plantation-scale cultivation.

Plantation operations

The plantation runs a sapling nursery, planting cycles, induced-resin program, harvest crews, and an on-site sorting and grading hall. Adjacent buildings house hydro-distillation, oil aging cellars, sample archives, and the CITES paperwork office. Visitors familiar with vineyards will recognise the operational pattern: long cycle, continuous replanting, vintage-by-vintage variability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How old are the oldest trees?
The original 2008 cohort is now around 18 years old — the first commercial harvest tier. Older trees in adjacent natural stands are also under management.
How much do you harvest annually?
Annual harvest volume varies with cohort age and induced-resin yield. Specific figures are confidential to qualified buyers; the operation produces commercial-scale wholesale quantities for chips, oil, and Kynam.
Is the plantation open to public tours?
No public tours. Qualified wholesale buyers may visit by prior arrangement.
How does climate change affect cultivation?
Subtropical Guangdong is showing higher peak temperatures and more variable monsoon patterns. We monitor this through plot-level yield tracking; new plantings are selected for resilient parent stock.
Are you adding new plantation area?
Yes — rolling expansion within Guangdong and Hainan. Multi-decade horizon: we are planting now for the harvest cohort of 2040.
