There are so many to choose from!GREVILLE wrote:Include a perinniana in your Eucalyptus forest
I want a piece of tropical forest in my garden with a mixture of bamboos and Eucalyptus towering over a tree house, under planted with cycads and spikies.cordyman wrote:you got any pics of the look your going for with these? from google images etc?

You happy with Eucalyptus over a tree house? Clearly not going to be a problem for a while (I was thinking of the shedding-branches potential problem)Yorkshire Kris wrote:Eucalyptus towering over a tree house
Re: Where can I buy eucalyptus plants today?
Far too close together! As they mature - which is quickly, with Eucalyptus - they'll need to be at least 10 metres apart.Yorkshire Kris wrote:They will be planted above 10 foot apart

That's the long term plan. Maybe in about 10 years time. Hopefully any falling branches would just hit the roof of any tree house and not our heads!

This is where the Eucs will go.

Unfortunately yes and good growers!Mr List wrote:are any eucalyptus totally bone hardy?
The only thing that brings them down is a man with an axe or eventually strong wind.
There are some near us less than 20 years old and taller than the houses, by 30%.

Looks really exposed, not good when eucs have a reputation for dropping branches. I heard that the eucs are more likely to drop branches here because the heavy rainfall causes them to grow more leaves which makes their branches heavier than they would have been in their natural environment.Yorkshire Kris wrote:This is where the Eucs will go.

Some eucalyptus would be exposed to a lot of moisture in some areas of the wild they grow in. I suppose there is so many different types of Eucalyptus that there is one for every situation.

The way I look at it is a tree that grows 60ft tall will be exposed wherever it is grown. My location for them is at the bottom of a gentle slope.greendragon wrote:Looks really exposed, not good when eucs have a reputation for dropping branches.

Go for the newer one, 'Azura' apparently only grown to about 3 metres, wont hurt so much if a branch falls on your head
