Agonis, Peppermint Tree, Australian Willow 'Aftershock '

A beautiful, waterwise evergreen shrub for arid climates with mild winters. Fine-textured foliage emerges yellow-green to lime green and ...Read Morematures to burgundy. Semi-weeping branchlets evoke those of weeping willows.

This is an improved seedling selection from Agonis flexuosa 'After Dark', with an upright habit, tighter internodes and finer foliage, which means it's shorter and denser and requires less pruning.

For hedge plantings, the breeder recommends 8' spacing on center.

Prefers regular irrigation but is drought tolerant once established. Best in full sun. Responds well to pruning.

Not for humid semitropical climates like that of south Florida.

The cultivar name is 'AF09'. AFTERSHOCKTM is a trademark, a proprietary trade name.
