A beautiful, tall-growing eucalyptus, Corymbia citriodora displays a distinctive, often powdery white to grey-coloured bark which curls and flakes off in spring. The leaves are green, long and slender with an amazing, strong lemon fragrance when crushed. In summer and autumn, feathery white flowers appear, making it a good source of food for honey bees. The beautiful, strong scent is a distinguishing attribute, with the essential oils produced from this variety often being used in fragrances as well as insect repellents. Corymbia citriodora is a feature tree that needs significant space – ideal for parks, gardens and wide streetscapes.
