I decided to check on the Melaleuca Trees near our apartment, and just as I suspected, they have changed dramatically since the last time I looked.  I checked the Internet to find out as much as I can comfortably without the search turning into a thesis, and I learned that Melaleuca Trees are part of the Myrtle Tree family.  I also learned that they are called paperbark trees and that they go through life changing.  No wonder I like these trees so much.  Anything that goes through life changing can't be bad.
