The Lemon Myrtle tree is an Australian native rainforest tree capable of growing up to 66 feet high, with evergreen leaves and clusters of white flowers. It is now cultivated in other places of the world like South Africa and Southern Europe. Lemon Myrtle essential oil is extracted using steam distillation of the green branchlets and leaves of the tree. It’s a special oil because it’s not acidic despite its citrusy aroma, lending the oil more versatility.
