Lemon-scented gum

Corymbia citriodora

Murray Unkovich, South Australia

Lemon-scented gums shed their bark each

summer. Little blisters appear, then burst and

peel up, revealing shades of beetroot, caramel,

asparagus and lime. Some of the outside bark

hangs for a while, but in the end it all drops off to

reveal a smooth creamy coat.
