Melaleuca alternifolia aka Narrow Leaf Paperbark

Melaleuca alternifolia, commonly known as tea tree, is a species of tree or tall shrub in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, that is native to Australia. It grows along streams and on swampy flats in southeast Queensland and the north coast and adjacent ranges of New South Wales, often dominating where it occurs. This evergreen plant is considered easy to grow outdoors in USDA zones 9 through 11, but can also be grown indoors with extra effort. Tea trees typically produce wispy white blooms in the spring and summer, but may not do so when grown indoors. The plants rely on insect pollinators for pollination and require direct light, being less than a foot from a window, to thrive. It is important to note that raw tea tree oil is toxic and the plant should be kept out of the reach of children.
