User's notes

I took a photo of the top of the tree with young leaves. As it is a young tree, there was no flowers or fruits I could see on the tree nor on the ground. I checked the smell of a leaf which was really nice, but hard to tell if it is peppermint and eucalyptus oil mixture like one, as I have too little experience to tell eucalyptus leaf smells apart.

Think its a young euc.dives but you could confirm by finding fruit or juvenile leaves, or doing the crush test.

Thank you. I will go back and see if I can find fruit or juvenile leaves and do the crush test.

Thanks Kumiko, leaves should smell like peppermint mixed with euc oil.

I believe young plants can look like this Julie, to me the overall form of the tree say Euc.dives over anything else. I suppose only time will tell.
