Eucalyptus citriodora – Lemon Scented Gum Seeds | 50 Seeds | Fast Growing Fragrant Evergreen Tree

Grow your own Lemon Scented Gum (Eucalyptus citriodora), a fast-growing evergreen tree prized for its refreshing citrus fragrance, smooth exfoliating bark, and elegant upright form. Native to Queensland, Australia, this striking tree features glossy, lance-shaped leaves that release a strong lemon scent when crushed. The leaves contain citronellal-rich oil widely valued in perfumery and natural products.

The trunk and branches are smooth and powdery white to pale pink, shedding bark in thin patches to reveal a mottled, dimpled surface beneath. In warm climates, trees can reach 75–100 feet tall in nature, forming a slender, airy canopy. With selective pruning or container growing, size can be managed for smaller landscapes or greenhouse settings.

Highly tolerant of heat, drought, salt spray, and wind, Lemon Scented Gum is an excellent choice for coastal areas and warm-climate gardens.
