Melaleuca quinquenervia aka Punktree

Melaleuca quinquenervia, also known as the broad-leaved paperbark, paper bark tea tree, punk tree, niaouli, or tea tree pyatizhilkovaya, is a small to medium-sized tree in the Myrtaceae family. It can grow up to 20 meters tall, with a trunk covered in a thick, papery bark that is white, beige, and grey. The grey-green leaves are egg-shaped, and cream or white bottlebrush-like flowers bloom from late spring to autumn. It is native to New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, and coastal eastern Australia, growing in swamps, floodplains, and near rivers and estuaries on silty soil. However, it has become an invasive species in the Everglades region of Florida. Tea tree pyatizhilkovaya, or niaouli, is also a member of the Melaleuca genus and is native to Australia, Papua New Guinea, and New Caledonia. It is a super rare houseplant that requires regular watering and thrives in long-lasting, direct light. The soil should be well-draining. The tree can grow up to 25 meters tall, with dull or grey-green leaves that are spear-shaped to ovoid. The cream or white flowers appear from late spring to autumn and are located on the ears at the ends of branches. Woody fruits grow after flowering in the form of a wide cylindrical box, each containing many tiny seeds that are thrown away annually.
