From what I can tell and from what I know grows in the area its a variety (flat leaf) non seeded eucalyptus tree or some kind of mixed hybrid! I have something similar in my yard. Why did you ask? Your not cutting it down I hope?? lol -
Jun 28, 2014 1:15 AM GMT^
nope...I need to know because I want to put some in my mom's yard. I cleared most of her yard so that it can be redone. I need to know what the specific variety is.

Can you get a branch of it? Smell it and or take it to a nursery and they would know. -

Yep, I will try that. Thanks. -
Jun 28, 2014 1:21 AM GMTYeah, I think it's a variation of the eucalyptus. I would recommend against it. It makes a fuckin mess. If you're going to plant it in a grassy yard, I guess it's ok. But if you're going to plant it next to some type of concrete patio, it will create muddy stains every time it rains.

I have the unfortunate luck of having one grow next to my parking spot. -

I have 3 huge trees I planted a few years back. They provide amazing shade on my east side where my Master Bed room is located and it's good for the summer to keep it cool until later in the afternoon when my house blocks the rest. It really attracts the birds and they crap on the cars that are parked off on the street......SO KEEP BACK from my house!!! Other than that.....They smell great and are BIG! -

Yeah, it's the worst tree to have around if you want a clean yard. They get very big over time. And create a bigger mess.

No one here "loves me". I'm the most blocked & disliked guy on this site. My good pal SB and his Conservaposse friends made sure of that.
I only post for the few guys here who still read me, trying to put out useful info that might benefit them, or maybe make them laugh.
Which doesn't include you, who I now have on Ignore. -
Jun 28, 2014 2:23 AM GMTI'm pretty sure it's a paperbark tree (melaleuca quinquenervia).
They're native to Australia - we have lots of them around here in Sydney. They're good for being drought resistant and fairly fast growing. They were introduced to the US around 1900 but note that they are considered a weed in some US states. -
Jul 03, 2014 2:49 PM GMTThe nursery told me that it is a Melaleuca leucadendron - common name: Cajeput Tree -
Jul 03, 2014 3:24 PM GMTCajeput Oil:
Cajeput oil is used to treat colds, headaches, toothache, and tumors; to loosen phlegm so it can be coughed up (as an expectorant); and as a tonic.
Some people apply cajeput oil to the skin for mites (scabies) and a fungal infection of the skin (tinea versicolor).
Cajeput oil is also used either alone or in combination with other ingredients in commercially available antiseptic lotions to treat joint pain (rheumatism) and other pains.
Some people inhale cajeput oil as an expectorant.
In dentistry, cajeput oil is used to relieve gum pain after a tooth is removed or lost.

Jul 03, 2014 3:53 PM GMTI always liked the Melaleuca and it has a showy, vigorous bloom in season, but I became somewhat leery towards it during the early years of Everglades restoration where it is viewed as invasive.
I never grew one but a neighbor had a number of them and I thought them stunning. Aware of its Florida status, I wouldn't plant one but also I worried that bugs introduced to attack Melaleuca in the Everglades would harm my neighbor's trees.
In Florida, back in the 70s, we used to call them tourist trees, because they peel.
