Lemon bush eucalyptus is an aromatic powerhouse, giving off a strong lemony smell when you crush the leaves. Some people like to use this plant to repel mosquitoes, but if you're anything like me, nothing short of a flamethrower will keep those bloodsuckers away. This plant is cold-hardy in zones 9-11, but performs admirably in a pot, and can be taken in the house during winter. In the ground, it can grow to be a large tree (50'+), but in a pot, it will only manage a few feet.Â

The plant is doing really well and already has promising new growth
Upper Place Gardens was helpful and flexible when shipping the tree to arrive at the best time for me. The tree was packaged very carefully, and it arrived in good shape. There was even some new growth at the base of the tree, so I am hopeful that it will do well in my hands.
Arrived in great condition and very healthy!
