I reported on a weeping elm in Campbell's croft some time ago. I was on a walk the other day which took me through the area again. As the tree loses its leaves the structure becomes visible. It occurred to me that our eucalypts bear some relation to a deciduating tree, in that their branch and trunk are always exposed, and leaves are confined to the outer limbs, just as a deciduous tree loses its leaves until a few remain at the very extremities. Just a thought.

don't you weep for me...

It's a wonderful photo. I adore weeping plants and would love grow a weeping willow here but unfortunately they are considered a pest. It's good to see a healthy specimen.
What a great tree!
I've just discovered Eucalyptus and will definitely be back. Australian trees - how wonderful!
