These twelve 130 foot/49 meter tall trees were cut down last early Summer...they were over telephone poles and caused a liability. I found out recently these trees were there before the telephone poles. I know the owners were not happy about them being cut down however, they were such a fire danger being grown over telephone poles.
Since these trees have been cut down my house is about 8 to 10 degrees on average hotter inside -- in Summer and Winter.
We were all sad to see them go...some many birds lived in these many trees. : > (

Yes, it was sad to see them go...many of the neighbors miss them. However, Eucalyptus trees are so extremely widely grown in California.
There's more Eucalyptus trees and species growing in California outside of Australia than any other place in the World.
You probably can tell by most of my photos...which have Eucalyptus trees in the background of almost all my photos.

Several trees had been cut down before I took this photo in Summer of 2008.
