Growing eucalyptus coppice for firewood

[Big J]

In the UK at the moment, so checked on (and took the tree guards off) my 2021 planted nitens.

They really have rocketed up. The larger one is 9m, 12cm DBH and flourishing. The smaller one a couple of metres behind. My understanding is that from about year 4-5 they really start to shoot up, so I fully expect it to hit 20m before it's 10 years old. Nitens is quite apically dominant, so the central stem will just keep pushing up. 

They'll be bloody substantial by the time someone at the council notices them and wonders how they got there! 😄

I was wondering the other day how your bigger blocks were doing. Any significant failures?
