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.
