Despite its name, no species of gum tree, or eucalyptus, is used in making gum. The "Chewing Gum tree" is the nickname for the Sapodilla tree, which is native to Central and South America. Chewing gum is made from a thick, milky, latex juice called "chicle" which is extracted from the sap of the sapodilla tree.
