    Peppermint Gum - Eucalyptus radiata - Care Guide

    Eucalyptus radiata, commonly known as the narrow-leaved peppermint or Forth River peppermint, bears beautiful leaves that are easy to recognize thanks to their silvery shimmering in the light. Seeing that, the eye is drawn to the trunk, which peels in colourful layers that meld silver, brown and green.


    It blooms to provide excellent nectar for honey. Dots on each leaf are actually oil glands. These are great for eucalyptus essential oil.


    Eucalyptus flavour even appears in mint-flavoured chewing gum and in cough drops!

    It is native to Tassie, here in Australia.

    White Aspen - Growing Lemon Aspen

    White Aspen is a household name in the bush fruit circles. Combining the citric touch with honey notes, its aromatic punch is arguably second to none in the wild.

    Although it’s endemic to Daintree in QLD, it will grow well in Sydney just fine. The fruit is white in colour and 1cm in diameter.

    You can use White Aspen in salads, sea food or even poultry. You can even make them into a jam, cake, juice or go creative and make yourself a cocktail.

    The 12-15m tree can be kept smaller by regular pruning. Grow as a screen, hedge or a balcony ornament . White Aspen is great for providing shade, and attracting bees and birds - especially native birds.
