Corymbia citriodora 1
I purchased this as it had a lot of lower branching which I love on Eucalyptus, as this is often how they grow in an open paddock.
It was purchased from Glendale Native nursery in Newcastle as a 4 inch pot for $16
This species is amazing. The scent and the white/green colour of the trunk is what makes this Euc so impressive.
The leaves grow enormous. The juvenile foliage is delightful as its rough and papery, and you can actually smell the citronella without even touching the leaf because its so strong.
Its been placed into a large Marius Folda pot (Poland).

Re: Corymbia citriodora 1
I absolutely love the scent this tree has - I cant get enough of it when I prune mine. My in-laws have a massive 20m+ lemon scented gum in their front yard which makes the air smell just fantastic after a rain.
Regrettably, I've pruned it too drastically a few times (top and other times bottom) that it's died back to the base on (I think) 3 separate occasions.
