The removal does open up your view from inside, Phillip. I know it's hard to take down an otherwise healthy tree but Eucalyptus do need to be very carefully sited for the sake of safety. They're notorious for coming down in bad storms here in California, which was a factor in the decision to remove a very large specimen we inherited with our current garden (in addition to the complaints of a neighbor who claimed it interfered with her view, which is an issue governed by a local community ordinance here).
ReplyDeleteIf you leave the stump don't be surprised if your Euc pops tight back up again in spring.
ReplyDeleteIt is always sad to have to remove a tree. The more open view is nice. You have a lot of color in the garden right now.
ReplyDeleteYes what ks said, they quickly re-spout from the stump--whether you want them to or not!
