PLANT PROFILE

Corymbia citriodora – Lemon-Scented Gum is a tall, fast-growing evergreen native known for its striking white bark, narrow green leaves, and strong lemon scent when crushed. This tree looks excellent as a vertical feature in large gardens, rural properties, and avenue plantings, adding height, structure, and year-round greenery.

Its smooth, powdery bark peels in flakes throughout the year, creating visual interest. The lemon-scented, oil-rich foliage not only adds fragrance but naturally repels mosquitoes, making it a practical choice for outdoor spaces. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, it’s drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance.

They look excellent when planted as a specimen or in rows for formal avenues, and can also be underplanted with shade-tolerant natives or grasses to enhance garden texture and biodiversity. Ideal for large landscapes seeking a low-maintenance shade tree with added ecological benefits.
