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...
11 May, 2013

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

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.
12 May, 2013
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?
14 May, 2013
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.
