Citronella plants

[Debbie Wilson]

Where can we buy citronella plants? They don't have it at the vivero we normally go to.

[Bob Stone]

Janson coffee farm in Volcan has citronella plants as well as many other plants.......we have found they are far superior to plants at MIDA or other places.........

Vivero Bello Sol on Via Volcan in San Vicente, about 1/3 of the way up (~10km) from Bugaba to Volcan has a Citronella variety that will become a tree.  Not sure the exact species.

Hello Debbie,

We have two that we bought in Volcan from Heide(spelling?) at Carla's annual plant sale last July. They are doing very well. We are thinking of buying some more this year. She can be reached by e-mail at [e-mail]

Hi! Happy to know that your plants are doing very well. Calle and I are in Europe now visiting coffee clients. We will be back the 25th of May. The plants that you bought I believe are a variety of eucaliptus and will grow as a tree if you plant them in your garden the leaves are medicinal apart from being very aromatic. I believe that we have plants in our nursery but I am not 100% sure because at this time of the year the inventory moves faster. The nursery is at the farm and is open from mon to fri 8 -4. Sat. 8-12. Thanks a lot for your mail. Saudos. Haydee and Calle Janson

Thanks, Alan. We plan a trip to "the other side" soon and will try to find the farm.
