PEPPERMINT TREE

---

• An Australian native, the Peppermint Tree has a willowy habit and leaves that smell like peppermint when crushed. It freezes to the ground when temperatures drop below 25 degrees F, but will grow back from the trunk.
   
• Blooms prolifically in summer with small white flowers. Interesting shaggy red-brown bark. Tolerates heavy soil, wind and high heat. Requires minimal pruning, but will accept shaping as a patio or specimen tree. Drought tolerant once established, but should be irrigated regularly when newly planted.
   
• Height to 30 feet.
