Interesting tree but no clue what it is

[Jonnoj]

Hi all, it's not important at all, but I've been scratching my head whilst trimming back my massively overgrown garden.

The leaves are a pale green that look white/grey in the sun. It's quite tall, has a twisted trunk and long strips of peely bark.

I know it's not the best photo but so far I can't find a tree similar to this... Hope you all can help

Pretty hard to tell from that image.  Can you get a close up of the leaves and trunk?

Peely bark and colour of leaves makes me think of Eucalyptus Cinera. (Silver Dollar) ?

I can get one of the trunk but because of shorter trees around the base the lowest leaves would need a pretty big ladder, I'll try to get a couple of better photos today though

Looks pretty similar, a quick Google image search shows me the leaves are about the same shape but hard to guage the size from photos. I'd say that's probably a pretty good guess, I'll get some better photos in a while

Here's a couple more photos not a lot better though the leaves are too far away but I think eucalyptus fits the bill.

As a side point, IV been pruning back this other heavily over grown tree any no idea what it is either

Yep, Eucalyptus 100%.  You only have about a million varieties to narrow it down to now.  Maybe Sean is right though, hes a smart chap

Thanks Steve!

Although in 8 years I have never seen it produce any catkins (nuts)? I have been reading so maybe I'm mistaken...
