I don’t know about marsh or jungle, but if you are not at war, you cannot put a citadel on forest (in foreign territory). The Oasis limitation is a good catch.
Got it,...Basically a Citadel chops down a forest and places the Citadel in one step,...so if your normally (worker) not allowed to chop down the forest within a CS's borders then first step of the process is unattainable - Makes sense!

Forget the forest issue. Your GG needs to on your borders. So buy the tile the GG is on now then try planting where you want? But what does it get you? Your screenshot is kind of small, but I am not seeing a lux or resources? GG are rare and valuable. Why are you planting?
Playing a Warlord HOF Game, and trying to get a Diplo around 200ish, So QUICK quality tiles is important and GGs are not as valuable when pounding the A1 at lower levels.
Although I don't have money in that screenshot...it is readily available (So I can buy tiles - just not those tiles),...This is actually one my favorite strategies for lower level HOF games,....Limited workers?, Time needed to improve? Want to pay less Maintenance for units?,....Quick way to get things moving - Steal tiles already improved! (Camps in this situation - Happiness/Resources is not critical - Growth is!)
You can plant a Citadel on CS tiles (Even right next to the city),.....I do it all the time! But I do believe the forest is restricting me in this situation.
