Acronychia acronychioides
White Aspen forms a dense, well-shaped small to medium tree with an upright habit and lush green canopy. The leaves are broad, smooth and glossy, releasing a pleasant citrus-like aroma when crushed — a feature that reflects its close botanical relationship to citrus plants.
In favourable conditions, the tree grows steadily and can be maintained by pruning to suit smaller gardens, or allowed to develop into an attractive feature tree providing shade and wildlife habitat.
