Eucalyptus citriodora – Lemon Scented Gum Seeds | 1,800 Seeds | Fast Growing Fragrant Evergreen Tree

Establish a large-scale planting of Lemon Scented Gum (Eucalyptus citriodora), a fast-growing evergreen tree known for its refreshing citrus fragrance, smooth exfoliating bark, and tall, elegant form. Native to Queensland, Australia, this striking species produces glossy, lance-shaped leaves that release a strong lemon scent when crushed. The foliage contains citronellal-rich oils valued for their aromatic qualities.

Juvenile leaves are slightly rough-textured, while mature foliage becomes smooth, glossy, and highly drought-adapted. The powdery white to pale pink trunk sheds bark in thin irregular patches, revealing a beautifully mottled surface beneath. In warm climates, trees can reach 75–100 feet tall, forming a slender canopy ideal for windbreaks, shade, and ornamental landscape use.

This 1,800-seed bulk pack is ideal for nursery production, reforestation projects, windbreak installations, coastal plantings, or large property development.

You will receive:
✔️ 1,800 Eucalyptus citriodora seeds
✔️ Fast-growing aromatic evergreen tree
