- Why do eucalyptus trees smell so good? What are their identifying characteristics and how can you recognize them? What are the benefits of the essential oils from plants of this family? What are the other members of the myrtle family (Myrtaceae)? And why do their flowers look so fuzzy?
In this video, we will go through many real life examples to compare and understand the most important features of the family Myrtaceae. You might be surprised to learn that some well-known goods such as manuka honey, cloves or products infused with essential oils come from plants in the myrtle family!

Thank you! I am discovering the many plants on my property. I saw the myrtle berries and wondered if they were useful. I learned so much more fromthis video. I watched it while looking at my bottle brush my pineapple guava and my myrtles from my window. 😊
I'm happy that you got to learn something new from the video! 🤗 Myrtaceae are amazing! Where are you located (if you don't mind sharing)?
❤ wow
I love your videos. I had a persistent problem with pantry moths that I couldn't get rid of. At last, I tried collecting eucalyptus leaves and spreading them throughout the shelves of my pantry. It worked! The pantry moths were finally gone. It did get a little messy because the leaves dried up and crumbled but I would rather clean that up than have moths getting into my food stores.
Thank you thank you so much mam. My doubt is cleared by you in eukelyptus plant and bottle brush plant. Thanks a lot mam.
I'm glad my video helped you! 🤗
Such a clearly explained video, I hope your channel gets more viewers!
Thanks a lot,,, it's really helpful❤
Visuals are just great❤
Thank you! I put big emphasis on visuals, so I'm happy it's appreciated! :)
Great video. i live in Australia and love all the tree haha
Thank you! 😊 I'm jealous, Australia is amazing and its nature is beautiful! ❤
Wow I would’ve thought the largest representation of myrtaceae is in Brazil where they have thousands of species and hybrids
We come from hilly region western ghats of nilgiris India. Full of eucalyptus tree. Love the aroma.
Thank you for posting such wonderful informative subjects.
I live in the Philippines and I've had only 3 of this family:
Syzygium aqueum (tambis, makopa)
Syzygium curranii (baligang, lipote)
Syzygium cumani (duhat)
very informative video! Thank you for making it. Can you please identify the last tree in the video that shows the pinkish purple powderpuff balls all over it?
I am glad you enjoyed it! 🤗 the last tree in the video is Melaleuca nesophila, commonly known as showy honey myrtle. It is currently in full bloom in California! 😊
@@natureclearly thank you so much. Unfortunately it appears that is invasive to my area (Florida)
Very interesting video. But why isn't the crepe myrtle considered part of the myrtaceae family?
Good question! This is one of the problems with common names. Crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia) got its common name because of the resemblance of its leaves to true myrtle (Myrtus communis), even though it belongs to a different family (Lythraceae). The "crape" part refers to its flowers that are "crinkled" like crêpe paper.
I am preparing a video where I talk all about the usage of common names, so stay tuned if you're interested in this topic! ;)
Awesome informative video!
Thanks very much!!
Check out the Pōhutukawa tree found down here in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Thank you! 🤗
I visited New Zealand and Australia just recently and I drooled over all the Myrtaceae down there! I hope to be back and get deeper into this amazing plant family! 😊
Jaboticaba is the King of Myrtaceae 👑
Thank you very much and you look so beautiful
Thank you! 😊
