I'm afraid I have no idea what species my eucalyptus is: it was here when we bought the house. I'm in Cambridgeshire. My tree is quite close to my house (~4m), but actually closer to my neighbour's. I'd estimate it to be around 4-5m tall and it seems like around a metre of this growth has been in the last year (but do correct me if that sounds wildly inaccurate). I'd like to know whether I ought to get someone out to lop it or remove it altogether or whether it's safe to leave it (I really like it). I've been rather scared by the idea it could grow extremely tall, but also confused by the number of species and effect of climate. Also, if I need to get it seen to - are there any rough ideas as to the cost? I should add that my gardening knowledge is virtually non-existant. Grateful for any hints. Jo Jo, it all depends on what type of Eucalyptus it is. I had Eucalyptus Gunni about 3 metres from the house and it didn't create any problems. Google Gunni and see if that is any help to you. Judith E. gunnii is certainly one of the most popular sold in UK. But this site will be helpful to Jo, I think. http://www.macfoliage.co.uk/ -- Sachahttp://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon My neighbour had a eucalyptus that grew at that sort of rate. It blew down (fortunately the other way and without causing too much damage). What do you loose by trying to coppice it ? ( cut down close to ground level and allow thin shoots to regrow. Take these out every few years.) Paul -- CTC Right to Ride Rep. for Richmond upon Thames |
