Default Free young silver dollar eucalyptus trees in SoCal

"old dirtbeard" wrote in message

We have 8 young (about 8 -12 feet tall, planted within the last couple
years, still staked up for support) silver dollar eucalyptus trees in the
Los Angeles area that are free to a good home. They should transplant very
well


They won't transplant at that size. They just die if anyone trys to
transplant them.

If they are too big for the position but you want to keep them then you
could just chop them off at ankle height and they will put out lots of new
growth of the immature foliage which is what they are most popular for ie
the "silver dollar" look. In australia they are known as the "Argyle
Apple".
