This tall, narrow, open tree has a trunk that is smooth, white and "muscular," producing light green leaves with a heavy lemon scent when crushed. It quickly reaches a height of 60' or more. Below 25 degrees F, this tree will be damaged by frost. It prefers full sun and well draining soil. It is drought tolerant once it's established. Small white flowers appear in summer but are considered insignificant.

Water Saving Tip:
Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
