Tea tree oil has a strong, aromatic odor similar to camphor, and a color which ranges from pale yellow to nearly clear. It is obtained from the leaves of the melaleuca alternifolia tree native to the northeast coast of New South Wales, Australia.
The bark of the tree is light and flakey; the leaves are small, evergreen and alternately arranged. Its flowers are produced in dense clusters along the stems and come in a variety of colors including white, pink, red, pale yellow and greenish.
The fruit of the melaleuca tree is actually a small capsule with very small seeds inside. When open, the flowers are puffy and feathery similar to dandelion plants common in America.
