Many private individuals produce crudeoil during the woodcutting in Siberia. Processors collect the oil from these people and re-distil it toobtain a standard quality. The production season usually starts in May, after the spring flooding isover; the season ends in October, when the first strong frosts begin. The needles are very fragile infrost, so it is not practical to distil in winter.Dill and coriander are also cultivated in Krasnodarskij Kraj, for use as spices and essential oildistillation.Other plants distilled in limited quantities are illustrated in Table 4:Table 4.
