I wasn't correcting you in any way. just adding to your absolutely perfect answer.

Corymbia and Angophora are of the gum family but fruit differently I think ? The gents on here will correct me on that I'm sure. There's more tree knowledge on here than in my encyclopaedia Britannia collection.

[Sequoia]

Euc is great firewood, but as stated already a bugger to split when seasoned.  Be aware that Euc seasons rapidly - ie in 5-6 weeks it will turn to iron so get splitting now.  Burn in a stove or you're neighbours will be making tea for the fire fighters!

What are they ? Ruined ... wtf has happened to them ! If they are staying like that I really feel for the next person to have to work on them.

At least there's plenty of room for a mewp. (They'll need one)

 

I was holding my tongue thinking that I'd be enlightened to the fact they're still be dismantled.

I was thinking I should of held my tounge as well Gary, your right I should probably wind me neck in... but having worked on trees like that where they have been appallingly pruned and then left for another ten years it is worth saying something .. that last tree imagine it in ten years and having to use that right limb that looks like it's over targets as a rigging and anchor point when it's doubled in size and still growing at an angle with a great big pocket of decay has developed ..

I think you're right with the waisted 'fruit'

Take a moment to read this, 'fruit' is the terminology used in the description of the berrys that eucalyptus produces.

TBH I wasn't sure of the correct term, but as I was stood in front of the barbie with a glass of good red minding a very good sirloin, 'fruit' had to suffice
