Red mallee
Eucalyptus oleosa
About
Eucalyptus oleosa, commonly known as the red mallee, glossy-leaved red mallee, acorn mallee, oil mallee or giant mallee, is a tree or mallee that is native to Australia. The leaves were once harvested for the production of cineole based eucalyptus oil. Eucalyptus cneorifolia is now the predominant strain used in production due to a higher oil content in new growth.

How to use it
The red mallee's leaves were historically harvested for producing cineole-based eucalyptus oil, which is known for its aromatic properties and potential health benefits. While it may no longer be the primary source for this oil, it still serves as a reminder of the diverse uses of eucalyptus species in traditional and modern applications.
