| Lemon-scented Gum can grow over 115 feet in height. It is an evergreen tree and one of Australia’s most beautiful trees that is now grown widely. The trunk is smooth to touch and the bark is a clean white or grey in colour. A lemon-scented essential oil is obtained from the leaves when crushed that is used in perfumery and medicinally. It flowers from June to September; is a great source of nectar for honey production and also attracts birds. The tree has adapted well in Melbourne and has been used in a number of streetscapes and parks throughout the city. |
