Five year anniversay of Eucalyptus grandis in ground
Posted by Walt - Lake Placid, Florida on 7/26/2016, 3:53 pm
Well, I'm late on posting my yearly update. My Eucalyptus grandis (I have two others) celebrated its fifth year in the ground, starting out as a 3 feet high sapling. I estimate the trunk is about 20" in diameter close to the ground. The tree is somewhat of a litter bug, as I'm constantly picking up dead branches and defoliating bark. Below are the updated photos, below the original planting photo in July of 2011. Every year I must stand back farther to get the entire tree in the camera frame.
