Default What to do with Eucalyptus tree

The message
from "Andrew Jackson" contains these words:

I have moved into a house with a Eucalyptus tree which is in a completely
unsuitable position. I really like the look of this plant and would like to
move it but don't know if that's feasible, and am wondering what my options
are.(snip)


It can't really stay where it is. Do you think I any chance of moving it?


None whatever, sorry. Even tiny eucalypts hate having their roots disturbed.

If you cut off the top right down to just above ground level it will
make many new branches, so that it looks more like a bush than a tree.
Given the proximity of the fences etc you probably won't want that.
