Some lemon-scented gum saplings on Stanford campus. A widely used highly ornamental slender tree with bark smooth throughout. Crushed leaves give a strong citronellal scent hence the common name.
I noticed that someone carved a name onto the trunk (visible at 4:50 or so in the video) but I guess since this one sheds its bark yearly, that person might be disappointed if they were coming back and check years later :)

I am in Australia. I cannot get over all the eucalyptus trees you have there. I Also have a passion for these trees. I am always on the look out for giant trees. I come across different ones up to 3.5 metres diameter. Mountain gum, river red and SA blue gum. It is so impressive seeing these giants .

I really went out of my way to find all of them haha! I envy you for being in Australia and close to all these wonderful eucalypts! My favorite seed vendor Nindethana stopped posting seeds outside of Australia and my heart sank when I saw that... but I digress. I agree, being with these majestic trees is wonderful. It brings such serenity and humility for me. They are also so diverse in their habitat, shapes, colors, and even scent! An amazing group of plants.

The primary school I attended back in 1998 was completely built around these trees. They have a very distinct, lovely smell after rain that sticks with you for the rest of your life. They bring such nostalgia to me as an adult! 🍃

I love it every time I walk past one C. citriodora and feel like I wandered into a cloud of fragrance. It is the best!!

Indeed! It's also surprisingly versatile in various climates despite it's northern natural distribution, making it a great species for cultivation :)

Yes, I have two Eucalyptus in my garden, E. gunnii and E. pauciflora.

@@Myrtuscommunis They are both great species for a cooler and wetter climate! How are they doing?

This is easily one of my favorite trees in the world. And, not just because of its scent

Yeah it really is elegant and it surprises us all with its wide adaptability despite its narrow-ish native habitat!

I love the passion with which you talk about these trees! Though, who doesn't love eucalyptus globulous?
