Silver Dollar Eucalyptus

[ktops]

I have a very big Eucalyptus tree in the front yard. Sorry I had a tall Eucalyptus tree in the front yard. My questions are:

Do their big branches break alot during rain storms?

Do they have a tendency to seak water, ex penetrate drain pipes?

I appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Klaus

Yes and sometimes. If sprawling branches are not shortened they tend to break.

Eucalyptus were used a lot for windbreaks in farming areas, particularly the orange groves of southern California.

All Trees seek water Eucalypus especialy so.
Yes break in high winds and are also a fire hazard as they explode with fire.
