Melaleuca leucadendron (Cajeput/Paperbark Tree)

Melaleuca leucadendron, commonly known as Cajeput or Paperbark Tree, is a species of evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia and Australia. It is known for its thick, spongy bark that can easily peel off in layers, revealing a smooth, cream-colored trunk underneath. The leaves are small and lance-shaped, and the tree produces clusters of small, yellow flowers. Cajeput Trees are often grown for their aromatic properties, as their leaves and bark contain essential oils that are used in various medicinal and cosmetic applications.
