Produced in New South Wales. Historical notes: The name of the genus ‘Melaleuca’ is derived from the Greek ‘melos’ meaning ‘dark, black’ and ‘leukon’ meaning ‘white’. It is noted that this name was first used in the description of a closely related cajeput tree to acknowledge the characteristic colours of the trunk (black) and higher branches (white). Many essential oil-bearing evergreen shrubs and small trees of Australia and New Zealand, including those of Melaleuca genius, belong to the Myrtaceae botanical family, e.g., cajeput, niaouli, manuka, kanuka, various myrtles and eucalyptuses. Many of them have long-recognised Aboriginal medicinal uses. Interestingly, large quantities of tea tree oil were used during WWII to reduce infection and heal skin injuries commonly seen in those handling ammunition, etc. The common name ‘tea tree’ probably originated from Captain James Cook's observation (1777) of leaves of one of the Melaleuca shrubs being used to make an infusion - similar to tea - to prevent scurvy.
