    Fantastic presentation, Mr. Brown. I'm an Aussie, and I apologise for the introduction of this species to Florida.

      Typical Aussie specie. Like Eucalyptus does in California, being aggressive and soaking up all the water and else.

    You’re awesome! Thank you for this informative video. Well done. I’ve never liked those trees. They smell like cold left over mashed potatoes.

    Tea tree oil, also known as melaleuca oil, is an essential oil that comes from steaming the leaves of the Australian tea tree.
    When used topically, tea tree oil is believed to be antibacterial. Tea tree oil is commonly used to treat acne, athlete's foot, lice, nail fungus and insect bites.
    Research on tea tree oil use for specific conditions shows:
    Acne. Research suggests that a treatment gel containing tea tree oil might be effective at relieving acne.
    Dandruff. A tea tree oil shampoo used for four weeks has been shown to be effective at treating dandruff.
    Athlete's foot. A tea tree oil cream, applied twice daily for one month, has been shown to be effective in relieving symptoms of athlete's foot.
    Lice. When used in combination with lavender oil, tea tree oil has been shown to be effective at treating lice eggs.
    Nail fungus. Research hasn't shown tea tree oil used in its pure form or in combination with other antifungal therapies to be effective in treating toenail fungus.

      Yes the oil from the melaleuca tree is called tea tree oil. And it is a very big business in Australia. And we have many different types of melaleuca trees in Australia. And we also make eucalyptus oil too. Fair Dinkum Aussie medications.

      palms do a better job at keeping hurricane winds at bay, and all palm flowers attract tons of bees.
