Eucalyptus citriodora – Lemon Scented Gum Seeds | 150 Seeds | Fast Growing Fragrant Evergreen Tree

Grow a larger planting of Lemon Scented Gum (Eucalyptus citriodora), a fast-growing evergreen tree prized for its refreshing citrus fragrance, smooth exfoliating bark, and elegant upright growth habit. Native to Queensland, Australia, this striking tree produces glossy, lance-shaped leaves that release a strong lemon scent when crushed. The foliage contains citronellal-rich oil commonly valued for its aromatic qualities.

Young trees produce juvenile leaves with a slightly rough texture, while mature foliage becomes smooth, glossy, and highly drought-adapted. The powdery white to pale pink trunk sheds bark in thin patches, revealing a beautifully mottled surface beneath. In warm climates, trees can reach 75–100 feet tall, forming a slender, airy canopy ideal for shade and ornamental planting.

This 150-seed pack is perfect for larger landscape plantings, greenhouse production, windbreaks, or coastal gardens.

You will receive:
✔️ 150 Eucalyptus citriodora seeds
✔️ Fast-growing aromatic evergreen tree
✔️ Lemon-scented foliage
✔️ Clearly labeled seed packet
