should be okay SL - mine still flowering , real toughies

nice close up too :))

That's good then mate cheers, had this for a few years but wind here is wicked at the moment, seen fence panels blown down and bins rolling down the road it's that bad here...

yes it was bad yesterday and 2 weeks back the conifer on front was doing circular motions

Lol amazingly this eucalyptus tree at back of our garden was almost horizontal at times thought it would snap ..

like our willow in that almost tornado - tornadoes within 10 miles of us 28th August last year #

I remember you saying about that mate, scary..

it was horrid

Careful of bough breakage with the Euc, Surrey, as they're notorious for that!
Do you prune it, mate?
Forgot to say...fantastic photo!
3 cheers for edit. Lol.

Lol yes, no the euc belongs to the neighbour at the back and he never prunes it, so it could get interesting..

Anywhere between 40-60ft tall & greedy for water.
I planted one for a nearby neighbour quite a few years back.
Her mole problem disappeared almost overnight.
Don't know if it's the scent or the invasive roots, but the moles cleared out.

Can't blame the moles mate, this one here is huge, at least 40-50 ft high..

About 8 or 10yrs old?

Not sure mate it was this big when I moved in 7 years ago..

They grow at a phenomal rate, but let a lot of light through.
Personally, I like them & the scent, too, but then I'm not a mole. Lol.

Lol :-)

Perfect close up photo! Wow, it is full of buds. I hope it wasn´t damaged.

Thanks Kat, no it was fine in the winds not a single stem damaged luckily. :-)

I am looking forward to the photos of opened flowers...

Thanks :-)
