It originated from the Moluccan Islands, particularly the volcanic island of Banda.
Major Nutmeg producing countries in the world are India, Indonesia, Netherlands, United Arab Emirates and Sri Lanka.
Major Nutmeg producing states in India are Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka
Seeds are the most economically important part of Nutmeg
Nutmeg is a tropical plant and requires dry periods to flower.
It will grow best at temperatures between 20°C and 30°C (68–86°F) and can tolerate a range of soils provided that the are well draining.
Nutmeg Trees will grow optimally in a deep loamy sand rich in organic matter with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5.
The trees love heat but should be protected from strong afternoon sun and also require some shelter from wind
