Melaleuca Trees in South Florida

[@guiseppeperceval4930]

Fantastic presentation, Mr. Brown. I'm an Aussie, and I apologise for the introduction of this species to Florida.

[@JjClark-wz7eh]

Apologize for something you had nothing to do with? Something so prosperous and beneficial for us! C'mon man! Lol

[@toeknee7673]

As always - Mr. Brown - informative and entertaining. Thank you.

[@starofthehighestpowers9837]

I use Florimulch... I leave Cypress mulch alone and more people should too.

[@mommasond]

I wonder if they can use they can plant it in Kiribati? The sinking islands in the south pacific...?

[@tonyaction5284]

Thank you for this very informative and educational video Mr.Brown.🙏🏼👍🏼

[@birdman2ns]

These plants are an australian native, they are capible of surviving the hottests brushfires and intense drought, good luck getting rid of it. unless florida freezes

[@dvchel]

Typical Aussie specie. Like Eucalyptus does in California, being aggressive and soaking up all the water and else.

[@stephenbrown1334]

Good information, and delivered in an interesting manner. Nice job.

Tea tree oil, also known as melaleuca oil, is an essential oil that comes from steaming the leaves of the Australian tea tree. When used topically, tea tree oil is believed to be antibacterial. Tea tree oil is commonly used to treat acne, athlete's foot, lice, nail fungus and insect bites. Research on tea tree oil use for specific conditions shows: Acne. Research suggests that a treatment gel containing tea tree oil might be effective at relieving acne. Dandruff. A tea tree oil shampoo used for four weeks has been shown to be effective at treating dandruff. Athlete's foot. A tea tree oil cream, applied twice daily for one month, has been shown to be effective in relieving symptoms of athlete's foot. Lice. When used in combination with lavender oil, tea tree oil has been shown to be effective at treating lice eggs. Nail fungus. Research hasn't shown tea tree oil used in its pure form or in combination with other antifungal therapies to be effective in treating toenail fungus.

I am not understanding. Why do people want to get rid of these?

[@granlex]

This is great. They are great medicinal tree with incredible properties. Why not use it

[@sherrifdean8858]

Are these the same trees that you can produce tea tree oil from?

[@Eye-it-azz]

I don’t think so

[@DeePresentsTC]

Yes. Tea Tree Oil.

[@priscimaldonado-dominguez9415]

isnt this tree is also medicinal, antibacterial, antifungal, good for the bees ? Isnt tea tree oil made out of melaleuca leafs?

[@rickparker8883]

No, it's made from eucalyptus trees.

[@mealbla7097]

Rick Parker no eucalyptus oil is made from eucalyptus

[@nabrismuftia]

The oil distilled from its leaves and twigs. Indoneisia is the one of swamp tea tree oil producer,

[@dennishunt1590]

Yes the oil from the melaleuca tree is called tea tree oil. And it is a very big business in Australia. And we have many different types of melaleuca trees in Australia. And we also make eucalyptus oil too. Fair Dinkum Aussie medications.

[@rlolo777]

Yes, but different species

[@bonilla2022]

Great video . THANK YOU!

[@unknownunknown-lg4vc]

You’re awesome! Thank you for this informative video. Well done. I’ve never liked those trees. They smell like cold left over mashed potatoes.

[@FL-Man78]

Anyone know where I can look for a job fighting these in the Everglades?

[@unikanum14]

They are beautiful trees.

[@angelithasturrup665]

So then, I would like to work with you Mr. Brown to start mulching of dead trees for business.... What do you think?

[@JjClark-wz7eh]

Imagine hating something so prosperous, and beneficial! 😒

[@cp32784]

How sad 😢

[@YariDC]

🤦‍♀️DON'T KILL IT, MELALEUCA TREE IS MEDICINAL!

We have 5 of these trees in my yard and they look wonderful, kept the hurricane winds at bay and off our house, I love the smell ad the bee's love the flowers

[@adnanchinisi7871]

palms do a better job at keeping hurricane winds at bay, and all palm flowers attract tons of bees.

[@EVIEGROSS]

No to the malaleuca

[@corinkierson3603]

do you realize that this tree has many medicinal properties, and those trees can be put to good use instead of killing them

[@Jane_lotus]

The melaleuca killing all the native plants in the area.

[@diggyrat]

Yes, they realize that. Best eradicate now, before everyone catches on… (sarcasm)

[@laurasnowleopard9748]

OMG, PLEASE DO NOT PLANT ANY

[@martylynchian8628]

Is there such a thing as a tree racist?

[@SuperCheesetastic]

I was thinking of planting a few here in Florida. xD

[@stevesoutdoorworld4340]

Leave my punk trees alone ! I make a lot of honey and money with that tree every year.Thank you!

[@sultanahazuri3903]

Tea tree oil is super expensive yet this is a invasive plant? People are strange animals. Why not harvest this plants healing properties instead of killing them?

[@matts5105]

Sultana Hazuri this tree is not the same as a tea tree

[@rlolo777]
