Hi,

As a first post I thought I would ask if it's possible to reduce
the
size of my two eucalyptus trees. Unfortunately they have become
very
leggy at approx 35ish foot. I was hoping to lop off the tops
down
to
approx 20ft. Would this be ok and would it produce a more bushy
tree.

Kind Regards Clive

Prune an eucalyptus? Are you mad? Wait for a gentle breeze, and
the
limbs will fall off by themselves.

Tut tut, such generalisations, and in public too.

Uh huh. I've live around eucalyptus trees all my life. Damn things
may

make fast growing wind breaks, but they are dangerous.

Billy that is crap. SOME Eucalypts can be dangerous. Not all
Eucalypts
are
dangerous.

Reminds me of Australians. They can be brash and impulsive, AND
helpful,
good friends. Now don't get your shorts in a twist, Fran. That was
meant
as a compliment.

We had a bit of a wind storm today, and the trees here in the hills
were
movin' around pretty good, so I was worried what it would be doin' out
on the flats. To get into town, quickly, I need to drive through a
stand
of eucalyptus, and was amazed that the road wasn't cluttered with
limbs.
So much for stereotyping.

Nyah, nyah nee nyah nyah! Told ya so!
