Eucalyptus citriodora – Lemon Scented Gum Seeds | 600 Seeds | Fast Growing Fragrant Evergreen Tree

Grow a large planting of Lemon Scented Gum (Eucalyptus citriodora), a fast-growing evergreen tree admired for its refreshing citrus fragrance, smooth exfoliating bark, and tall, elegant growth habit. 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 prized for their aromatic qualities.

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

This 600-seed bulk pack is perfect for nursery production, windbreak planting, reforestation-style projects, coastal installations, or large landscape designs.

You will receive:
✔️ 600 Eucalyptus citriodora seeds
