You can’t beat the delicious lemon fragrance that one of these brings to the garden. The fragrance is particularly strong after rain. The Lemon Scented Gum has a smooth white bark and an open crown. It is adorned with prolific creamy white feathery flowers in winter, which is a great addition to brighten up the garden at this time of year. The flowers attract the native birds and the lance shape grey green leaves are also used as a food source for Koalas. Given that they have a big root system they do need to be located away from houses. In an avenue planting they create a stunning drive on large properties, or can be used as a single specimen tree in a large garden. They perform best in full sun and well drained soils and will thrive in Victoria, NSW and QLD. It is a fast growing tree that will reach 20m as it matures, but definitely a tree worth considering for larger urban and acerage properties.
