Botanical name: Corymbia citriodora Family: Myrtaceae (Bottlebrush family)
Synonyms: Eucalyptus citriodora
Synonyms: Eucalyptus citriodora
Lemon Scented Gum is a very fast growing tree,
up to 51 metres in height, from
temperate and tropical north eastern Australia. It has smooth, pale,
uniform or slightly mottled bark, white to coppery in summer, and a
conspicuously narrow-leaved crown which smells strongly of lemons.
Pear-shaped buds are borne in clusters of three, formed in the corner of
leaf and stem junctions, whilst fruit (capsules) are urn-shaped. The bark
is smooth for the entire height of the tree, often powdery, shedding in
thin curling flakes.
