Eucalyptus citriodora ‘Citrus’ makes a lovely fragrant container plant for growing on the patio or indoors, where you can easily sample its intense lemon-scented foliage. Although it is a fast-growing and very tall evergreen tree in the wild, it can easily be restricted in a container and kept as a compact and bushy shrub by simply pruning the branches each year to encourage a fresh crop of silvery-green, egg to lance-shaped juvenile leaves.  The foliage is used to produce citronella oil and when crushed, it emits an intense citrus aroma.

This half-hardy shrub should be grown in a container and brought under cover over winter although it may survive in the open border in very mild, coastal, frost-free climates. It makes a lovely addition to a sensory garden or Mediterranean-themed area.

If left unpruned and growing in the open ground:

Height: more than 12m (40ft). Spread: more than 8 m (26ft).

However, plants can easily be kept to the desired size with routine trimming in the spring.

A lovely fragrant container shrub for growing on the patio or indoors, where you can easily sample its intense lemon-scented foliage. Plant eucalyptus trees into any fertile, non alkaline, free draining soil that does not dry out. Choose a position in full sun with shelter from cold winds.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Dobies products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.

Unlike many companies, we publish all of our reviews - good or bad - to give you, the customer, total transparency and peace of mind.
