 An awesome evergreen tree with green foliage and pale gray smooth bark, highly ornamental. They can grow over 40 feet tall. Liking full sun, regular watering in well draining soil and a acidic soil ph (5.6 to 6.5). Cold hardy down to USDA Zone 9a (20 Degrees F). We all know about lemon grass and citronella plants but given that this is a tree and has much more foliage it does a better job of repelling unwanted insects. You can just brush the leaves with your hand and a pungent aroma of lemon fills the air. In fact this tree is commercially grown to harvest the citronella for repellent sprays. Homemade sprays can also be made just by steeping the leaves. Will definitely add to and keep Mosquitoes out of any landscape!
