Lemon Myrtle, Backhousia citriodora. A native bushfood and the queen of lemon scented plants.

Die offensichtliche Fasziniertsein der sehr sympathischen Gartenfrau überträgt sich ruckzuck auf den Betrachter: SEHR schönes Video, eine so überzeugende Lanze gebrochen für die Zitronenmyrte: prima, DANKE fürs Teilen. - The obvious fascination of the very friendly & likeable garden expert lady is immediately transferred to the viewer: VERY nice video, such a convincing spear broken for the lemon myrtle: great, THANK YOU so much for sharing. -

Hi Kath. I concur. What an amazing bit of Aussie Buck Tucker. For years I have been distilling essential oil from Leptospermum petersonii, Lemon scented tea tree and I am ABSOLUTELY in love with this tree also. Like Lemon myrtle, it is also strongly antimicrobial, maybe more so. I had a unique design steam distillation setup that maximizes output, which I would be happy to share in case you are interested in extracting essential oils from your botanicals.

This sounds very interesting Petros. I would love to see your distillation setup, please share. I also love Leptospermum petersonii, I will have to make a video on this next time.

@@daleysfr I'm sorry to say I sold it a few years ago when I moved to FNQ, but the design is still very much with me :) It all starts with a good steam boiler, and lots of stainless steel. Followed by chemical engineering design principles that maximise return for given plant mass.

As usual, another GREAT video ! I like to grow "mainly" natives, but often mix in a lot of other fantastic plants...and I need to find a source for this plant in the USA !! Thanks for sharing :)

I planted 6 to cover a fence line of 9 meters. They're only about 70cm tall right now. I want them to grow to 3 meters tall as a roughly trimmed screen. How often should I trim them, and how much at a time would you suggest?

[@Anonymouseops]

Would the root system be suitable close to a dwelling? There's a spot in my yard I'd like to fill from which I have just removed a Ficus, planted by the previous owner, which had already started spreading towards the foundation.

[@Phahel7]

I believe they're a non-invasive root system and should be ok

They just came out with new research that it may help in building muscle. I've been drinking it hot and it's very delicious.
