History
Often referred to as broad-leaved peppermint it was initially found around the Blue Mountains and then west through the Great Dividing Range and south along the range into Victoria, as far as Ballarat. They are medium sized (up to 20m) tree, with grey, finely interlaced and crumbly‑fibrous bark, sometimes coarsely fissured at the base in mature trees. Upper branches are smooth. The fruit is pear shaped with a flattish top. This tree is widespread from the Northern Tablelands of NSW to eastern Victoria, usually on very poor stony soils.
Traditionally this Eucalypt was used by Australian indigenous people for treating, coughs, colds, flu, muscular and joint pain.
The Peppermint Gum (Eucalyptus dives) tree has been harvested and distilled by the Early settlers who took advantage of the tree leaves for colds, coughs, flu.
