The eucalyptus radiata tree is grown commercially in Australia. It is evergreen and can grow many metres high. The leaves are narrower than the oval leaves of Eucalyptus globulus and the aroma is much lighter and fresher with a slight peppermint aroma - however there is still no mistaking the eucalyptus aroma. This oil is often referred to by its trade name: 'Eucalyptus australiania'.
