EUCALYPTUS NICHOLII

Eucalyptus and pretty aren’t two words I’d normally put together. Pick it for the house because it smells of peppermint too. The foliage changes colouring with the season and stressful winters redden it. Stool it unless you want a tree. Plant it in neutral or acid soil (only one or two eucalyptus will tolerate limy soil).

Elegant narrow blue-green evergreen foliage, black-red stems, hardy, small tree slowly to 7m. Lovely foliage for picking.
