hi all

my neighbour has a 30foot euclyptus
which shades my south facing garden heavily
and sheds tons of bark on my lawn

He has agreed to do something about it
It is a beautiful tree and i would really like
if it could be cut tactically so it could keep some shape
or have a chance of coming back well

I also get on well with this guy and have told him
I do not want the tree destroyed.

he was thinking of just hacking it down to
three foot stump and see what happens
but i cant see this giving the tree a chance

Some people grow Eucalyptus specifically for their juvenile foliage or for
hedging, in which case they're kept low level. Have a look at this:
