History and Origin
Rosalina is a typical melaleuca shrub: white trunk and thin bark. It can be found in Australia where it easily adapts to all types of soils. It attracts birds particularly. This shrub grows quickly and it can reach up to 9 meters in height. It is very similar to Melaleuca alternifolia, tea tree, except for the very different biochemistry of its essential oil.
