Default Eucalytptus Summer Red

Yes, but Wanda wanted to know whether it dropped much rubbish (your lovely
mulch) onto the ground. Perhaps she doesnt have the same amount of time for
sweeping up the mulch or would like to plant them near a drain.
So... do they?

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.
:0)
Jade.

Thanks for the reply Jade.

I don't mind the leaves droping. I'll just add 'em to the mulch
my tree is only about 900mm at the moment so its got a lot of
growing to do.
It has a mass of those beautiful flowers at the
moment which are attracting the birds and the bees

Regards,
Mitchell
