Introducing the enchanting Eucalyptus citriodora, commonly known as Lemon-Scented Gum, a magnificent evergreen tree that transforms landscapes with its striking presence and delightful fragrance. Native to Northeastern Australia and part of the Myrtaceae family, this botanical gem can soar to heights of 40-100 ft., with a picturesque, narrow crown and a smooth, whitish trunk that can exhibit a subtle blush of pink or blue. Its lance-shaped, golden-green leaves release a refreshing lemon aroma, reminiscent of citronella, making it a favored choice in perfumery.

Ideal for zones 8-11, Lemon-Scented Gum thrives in full sun, preferring medium moisture and well-drained soil. Noteworthy for its drought tolerance and deer resistance, this elegant tree requires minimal care and can be propagated by seed. In winter, enjoy clusters of white flowers nestled among the foliage, adding subtle beauty to its charm. Whether adorning gardens or lining streets, Eucalyptus citriodora captures attention with its height, scent, and the smooth elegance of its bark, creating an unforgettable ambiance.
