Amazing link between Jesus and Frankincense!

Working on a part of my novel, I stopped to research tree sap. I began on reading about Frankincense. I found some amazing facts about frankincense that we all know was presented to baby Jesus at the manger.
The scientific name for frankincense tree: Boswellia sacra

Almost the word sacrifice.

We see the word Caesar.

From Wikipedia:

Frankincense is tapped from the very scraggly but hardy Boswellia tree by slashing the bark and allowing the exuded resins to bleed out and harden. These hardened resins are called tears. There are numerous species and varieties of frankincense trees, each producing a slightly different type of resin. Differences in soil and climate create even more diversity of the resin, even within the same species.
Frankincense trees are also considered unusual for their ability to grow in environments so unforgiving that they sometimes grow directly out of solid rock.



See anything relevant to Christ in that explanation? Solid rock. Also, Jesus was speared or cut on the tree he died on. We also see the word tears in that explanation.




It is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible book of Exodus 30:34, where it is named levonah, meaning "white" in Hebrew.[5]




The aroma of frankincense is said to represent life and the Judaic, Christian, and Islamic faiths have often used frankincense mixed with oils to anoint newborn infants and individuals considered to be moving into a new phase in their spiritual lives.
There is a place on the West Bank called Levonah. I am not sure if Christ had ever been there. So that means that maybe Frankincense was found there. 
I am coming to the conclusion, that maybe, just maybe that Jesus might have been crucified on a Frankincense tree. 
What do you think?
Also, searching frankincense, it may cure cancer.
