The essential oils from Citrus fruits are what is called cold-pressed. The oils are contained in spores in the rinds of the fruits. The rinds are run through machines that have spikes to pierce the spores and release the oils.
Citrus fruits provide ascorbic acid -- vitamin C -- a water soluble nutrient essential for life.

Cats do not like the scent of citrus, such as lemon or orange. This scent can be used to deter them from certain areas by placing citrus peels or essential oils in those areas. The strong smell of citrus is unpleasant to cats and can help keep them away from places you want to protect.

No Plums are not citrus
Citrus fruits are: Oranges,lemons,grapefruits,limes, and I think there are some Austrailian citrus fruits.
Trees that are known for having a citrus-like smell include the lemon-scented gum (Corymbia citriodora) and certain varieties of the orange tree (Citrus sinensis). The leaves of these trees emit a lemony aroma when crushed or brushed against. Additionally, some species of cedar trees, like the Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana), can also have a citrus fragrance, particularly in their foliage. These scents are often attributed to the essential oils present in the leaves.
