Eucalyptus citriodora – Lemon Scented Gum Seeds | 5,400 Seeds | Fast Growing Fragrant Evergreen Tree

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

Juvenile leaves have a slightly rough texture, while mature leaves are smooth, glossy, and highly drought adapted. The powdery white to pale pink trunk sheds bark in thin, irregular patches, revealing a beautifully mottled inner surface. In warm climates, trees may reach 75–100 feet tall, forming a slender canopy ideal for windbreaks, shade, and coastal plantings.

This 5,400-seed bulk pack is ideal for nursery production, reforestation projects, windbreak installations, large properties, or commercial-scale growing.

You will receive:
✔️ 5,400 Eucalyptus citriodora seeds
