Eucalyptus Pulchella White Peppermint Gum Seeds

As any keen bushwalker knows, nothing beats pushing through the understory of a sclerophyll forest looking to make your way to local waterfall or lookout, only to suddenly be overcome by the surprisingly refreshing fragrance emerging from the freshly crushed gum-leaves. Well, as far as aromatic gums go, nothing beats the White Peppermint Gum, Eucalyptus Pulchella, with its attractive foliage consisting of distinctive bluish-silver narrow leaves. Whilst you are unlikely to stumble upon it unless you are hiking in south-east Tasmania, it is increasingly being grown as a feature tree, due not only for its unmistakable peppermint aroma, but because of its spiralling smooth white bark, attractive foliage and stunning cream-white flowers (stamens). Eucalyptus Pulchella White Peppermint Gum endures relatively cool and dry conditions in its natural habitat, however, the variety has adapted well to cultivation in a variety of environments, ranging from cold winters in Victoria all the way up north through to the sub-tropics where it is increasingly becoming a popular choice for its deep foliage and drought tolerance. The smooth bark of Eucalyptus Pulchella White Peppermint Gum is highly desirable as it doesn't shed a pile of bark, making it suitable for many garden and urban horticulture applications.
