BBC Studios Natural History Unit - In Need of Eucalyptus Props

[Hannah Milankovic]

Hi all, 

 

I wondered if anybody is due to fell or has felled a large hollow tree, preferably Eucalyptus? We need to replicate the natural environment of a sequence in a studio setting. So we need a large hollow tree which will be the centrepiece from which the animal is filmed, as well as eucalyptus tree cuttings to help dress the set. We'd consider any type of hollow!

 

The studio is based in Cornwall so if anybody is local or based in the South West and has access to a large hollow/Euc tree cuttings similar to the reference pictures below please do let me know! 

 

Many thanks,

Hannah

We would consider any hollow tree, not just Eucalyptus

Hmmm good luck with that. In 21 years of tree work I can't remember once cutting down a hollow Euc!

As Steve says - never seen one anywhere!

plenty of hollow poplar, apple, willow etc

Don't know if it's any use but I've got a load of hollow promises I could definitely drop round in the morning
