Eucalyptus pulchella, commonly known as White Peppermint or Narrow-leaved Peppermint, is a small to medium-sized evergreen tree native to dry sclerophyll forests and woodlands in Tasmania. It typically grows up to 66 feet (20 meters) tall and has a distinctive smooth white or pale grey bark that can shed in ribbons. The narrow, lance-shaped leaves emit a peppermint scent when crushed. Flower buds are arranged in groups of nine to twenty, leading to showy white flowers that bloom from November to March, providing nectar for a variety of pollinators.

White Peppermint is valued for its ornamental bark, aromatic foliage, and its ability to attract wildlife. It is used in reforestation projects, as a windbreak, and for its essential oils. In cultivation, it requires well-drained soils, preferably with a north-west facing aspect to mimic its native conditions. It is drought-tolerant once established and thrives in full sun. While generally disease-resistant, it can be susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils. This species is not typically known for aggressive roots or invasiveness, but it should be planted with care to allow for its full size at maturity.CC BY-SA 4.0
