Corymbia citriodora 'Scentuous' – Dwarf Lemon-Scented Gum offers the classic citrus fragrance of Lemon-Scented Gum in a compact, manageable form. Its aromatic pale green, lance-shaped leaves and clusters of white flowers in late summer make it a standout evergreen for smaller gardens, patios, and streetscapes.

This tree looks excellent when used as a feature in aromatic or coastal garden settings. It thrives in full sun, tolerates drought and light frost, and requires minimal maintenance. Perfect for adding fresh scent and structure to modern landscapes, it also works well as an understorey planting beneath taller native trees to enhance garden layers.
