Couldn't you send a few leaves and description to Kew or Bedgbury Pinetum?
They have tree experts
and most certainly have more knowledgable access to the information
needed.

From my experience most 'experts' are more than happy to share their
knowledge.

True, but referring back to the OP, I suspect the _real_ question is not
taxonomic enlightenment but "what is the best way to kill this tree without
anyone knowing I did it?"

(A eucalyptus that I planted 19 yrs ago grows 6ft per year, and is an
excellent source of firewood, but I wouldn't want it that close to the
house.)
