Kings Park Perth features an avenue planting of this majestic fragrant lemon gum. Customers report this also does very well in Chinchilla, so it's worth trying in hot locations.

Plant as a wind break in large gardens. Coppice as a shrub in smaller gardens for its divine zesty scent. (Plus coppicing means you can reach those leaves easier, to give them a rub and sniff the scent!)

Koalas love to feed on the lemony leaves - it's an important food tree for them. (And probably tastes delicious)
