Description

Baby Citro is a grafted compact form of the popular Lemon Scented Gum. It has the same clean white trunk and fragrant foliage, but in a denser and more compact form which makes it more suitable for space restricted sites. This is a bird attracting tree, excellent for avenue plantings or parklands. Grows approximately 5-6m H x 4-6m W.

An Australian native originating from Queensland and NSW, Baby Citro is well suited to Melbourne and broader temperate climates. Its moderate frost tolerance and adaptability to a range of well drained soils make it a reliable choice for residential gardens, verges, and commercial landscapes across Victoria. Brush against the foliage and enjoy the distinctive fresh lemon fragrance that gives this tree its name.
