Corymbia citriodora

Description

Handsome smooth white (or pink) tall trunked eucalyptus (now Corymbia). Needs good drainage but otherwise not too fussy about soil. Oil is distilled from the leaves. Fast growing and frost hardy to low frosts. I had a 40' tree freeze to the ground one winter where my temps can get below 20F (-6C). Excellent tall tree for around tall buildings and factories. Also beautiful trees for parks and larger properties. Usually planted in groups of 3 as they are often found in nature.
