Wait until spring incase it suffers over this winter

i agree thow there are people who would do it in doremancy before winter but i wouldnt unless i had to .so your early or very early lol chris .

I'm impressed you have a eucalyptus to cut down...or do you mean cut down as in cut back? Most of ours in this part of Shrops perished, though some did put out from the base again. Dont know where they go from here with these bushes...Guess we wait to see what the frosts do to them this time round?
