Overview & Specifications
Lemon Scented Gum - Corymbia citriodora
Few native trees command a landscape like Corymbia citriodora. Its powdery white trunk rises with architectural precision, delivering year-round presence and a quiet, unmistakable elegance suited to the most considered properties.
Why Lemon Scented Gum
Sculptural white trunk: A naturally smooth, ghost-white stem that functions as a living architectural element in any landscape composition.
Lemon-scented foliage: Narrow, aromatic leaves release a distinct citrus fragrance, adding a sensory dimension to the planting.
Native resilience: Indigenous to eastern Australia and fully adapted to local soils, heat, and drought conditions with minimal intervention.
Strong vertical form: Reaches 20 to 30 metres at maturity with a refined, upright silhouette that adds scale and drama immediately.
Low input requirement: Once established, thrives without supplemental feeding or irrigation in most warm-climate settings.
Ideal Applications
Signature feature specimen: Positioned to draw the eye and anchor a key view across a prestige property or open landscape.
Avenue and driveway planting: Repeated at interval along an entry drive, the white trunks create a formal, high-impact corridor.
Large-scale rural and acreage projects: Well-suited to expansive sites where height, canopy, and native character are priorities.
Contemporary and native landscape design: Integrates with precision into both modern minimalist schemes and curated native plantings.
