I'm surprised your Eucalyptus tree is still alive after your cold winter! Most of the ones grown here in southern California wouldn't tolerate snow.

Its doing really well, in fact a bit to well its about 50ft now ...

Mushybanna:

Welcome to the world of Eucalyptus. They are so fast growing...some species can grow to 50 ft/ 15 m in just 2 or 3 years.

I have realised that ..
The man at Catchum & Cheatum Gc said it's a slow grower 1 foot every ten years .I think he meant to say 10 feet every year..... ...LOL..

Mushybanna:

Yes, 10 - 15 feet is more typical for the really tall-growing Eucalyptus species...only for the first 3 -5 years...then they slow down and spread out.
