Eucalyptus staigeriana Lemon scented ironbark |
Description: There are only 3 species that have the lemon scented foliage. Corymbia citriodora, Corymbia maculata and Eucalyptus staigeriana. All are high in the oil content and are grown primarily for the oil extraction. I have no information as to how big this grows, but is probably very similar to the Corymbia citriodora details.
Culture: Sun, acid pH soils, well drained sandy loam or gravels.
Uses: Aromatherapy, ornamental plantings.
