Dear Mitchell,
It doesnt have to be deciduous to drop alot of rubbish onto the ground. Most
eucalyptus leaves last about 2 years, and then fall off. They dont fall off
all together (deciduous), noooo that would be way too convenient. Some
berries knock off the trees easily, and leaves fall onto the driveway. Other
trees are not quite such a problem. Many trees lining the roads in
Paddington have been removed because they drop too many nuts and berries
onto the driveways blocking drains and flooding garages.

Hello Wanda,

I have only had this tree for about 2 months. I am not sure if it is
dicidous. I shall ask someone today. When the flowers emerge from
the casing the top of it falls off. which is not a problem. I have bark
chips under the tree to help keep the soil damp and healthy so any thing
falling on to it does not look out of place.

Regards,
Mitchell

Thanks Mitchell. Does it drop much rubbish in the way of leaves or nuts?

Hello Wanda it is a beautiful bush / tree. and its complement
"summer
beauty" (Pinkish flowers)

look for "Summer Red" on the internet

All you should do after flowering is prune back the tree AFTER
flowering
to
promot bushy growth.

also you can prune it to stop it from getting to big. Has been known
to
grow to 8 metres

Cheers,
Mitchell
