Lemon Aspen

A sweet smelling tree with creamy blossoms which produce large bunches of fruit. Lemon aspen grows naturally in a tropical climate, usually in well-developed upland and mountain rainforest, and is common in rainforest regrowth after disturbance. It is found naturally in coastal areas from central to northern Queensland.

Demand for lemon aspen currently exceeds supply, leaving many in the industry positive about its potential. Production is estimated at 2.5-5 tonnes per year.
