Nutmeg, botanical name: Myristica fragrans, is a tropical tree native to South East Asia. It requires a warm and humid climate with an average rainfall of 150 cm or higher. Nutmeg bears male and female flowers on separate trees, therefore requiring at least two trees to be grown if pollination is to take place. It can be difficult to determine the sex of seedlings. Female trees start producing fruit after 6 years, but peak production is reached in about 20 years. Nutmeg is the dried seed, while mace is the dried covering the seed.
The dried bark that you were thinking of is cinnamon, not nutmeg. This is the tree Cinnamomum verum, native to southern India and Sri Lanka.

Nut meg is the seed of a tree!! it mostly comes from Granada,, and it takes two months to dry the seeds in the sun to get the nuts just right,,, the tree grows to 70 feet,, you need one male for every 12-15 female trees,, and will start to produce in about 7-9 years,, the spice "mace" is produced from the ripe red arils!! No oregon is not a good place for these!!!!!

Isn't nutmeg the bark of a tree?

Cool. Plant an almond and wait a while. Nutmeg is the outer bark of an almond.
