Angus Willow-leaf Peppermint Eucalyptus is a flowering evergreen tree with dramatic fibrous bark with orange highlights and peppermint scented foliage. The narrow blue-green willow-like foliage gracefully dangle from noticeably burgundy stems and may take a purple tint in winter. Clusters of pompom like white flowers bloom in summer. Eucalyptus is not fussy about soils, and can even take boggy soils if planted in full sun. Angus is highly drought and heat tolerant, and has high disease resistance.
