thanks for the update. glad to know your trees are still doing well-especially this one. yes, eucalyptus are "messy" trees as they indeed drop leaves, bark, and branches throughout the year as part of the normal growth process---the price you pay for getting beautiful fast-growing trees apparently. FWIW, my biggest euc (nitens) is probably about 75' tall and roughly 24" dbh after about 16 years in the ground. may all your trees and all mine as well continue to be healthy and happy.
