Subject: re: Not A Gardener - Eucalypt help!

I concur that the lower branches are probably not needed. It is my experience that eucalyptus trees drop off a lot of their lower branches as they get taller. Sometimes they get a bit of help with the secateurs in my garden to make mowing easier underneath them…
in fact I have one young E. camaldulensis (red gum) in need of a little help now. It is a seedling tree from a very large old tree in our backyard that is possibly a couple of hundred years old. Some seasons the grand old tree has a lot of babies. Some of them have gone to the local reveg people.
