Eucalyptus Tree Citriodora- Lemon Scented Gum

The lemon scented gum has an entirely smooth trunk that varies in color from powdery white to coppery pink and pale yellow.

While older layers of thin bark are being shed, the trunk can become multi-colored and mottled. When crushed, the bright green, narrow leaves smell of citronella and lemons, and an oil distilled from them is used in perfume manufacturing and as a mosquito repellent.
