One of 4 lemon scented gums growing in our house yard... this is the only one that
drops limbs from time to time. There is a patch of native plants at the base, and
each time a limb falls from the tree it lands on the patch, we've had to do
a lot of replanting each time there is a broken plant under a heavy limb. We had
our tree man come and tidy up this tree, he cut out a lot of wood and that wood has
kept friends in firewood for their pizza ovens. We supply wood for 3 pizza ovens, no
need of those families to go and buy wood. They help us out by removing piles of
wood from fallen branches from time to time.
As a one time painter, to get the "green" of a eucalyptus tree, you mix yellow & black
and sometimes a touch of orange..
Koalas don't really like the flavour of the lemon scented gums
or the tall straight trunks and are rarely seen in one of these trees.
