About Tea Tree

The tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) is a small tree or large shrub native to the swampy and coastal areas of eastern Australia. It belongs to the Myrtaceae family, like eucalyptus and niaouli. Its silhouette is distinguished by a light trunk with thin, fibrous bark, and evergreen foliage composed of narrow, lance-shaped, bright green leaves.

This species thrives in well-drained sandy or loamy soils, often on the edges of wetlands. It prefers a warm and sunny climate, punctuated by regular rainfall — ideal conditions for its rapid growth. Its deep roots allow it to withstand short periods of drought, regenerating easily after cutting.

Flowering usually occurs in summer, presenting small white or cream flowers clustered in spikes, which attract numerous pollinating insects. These delicate flowers contrast harmoniously with the intense green foliage and contribute to the visual charm of this emblematic plant of the Australian landscapes.
