Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Large Eucalyptus Tree - free
We have had, growing in a big pot in our garden, a eucalyptus tree. The wind has just blown it over and the pot has broken.
It is time to let it go, to be planted in a garden, instead of continuing in our garden in a pot. It is healthy and beautiful. It measures roughly 7ft above the root ball. The root ball is 1 1/2 ft deep. If you have room for it and would like to have it, please message us. You would need to be able to collect.

We inherited one when we moved in. We replanted it five years ago and now the thing is lifting slabs and cracking walls in our back yard. Be warned...

Yep, these trees grow massive. The roots can damage any nearby water pipes too.. but it mighe be okay to grow in a pot? Not sure if it will be happy to stay in the pot..

You should definitely do some research before planting one of these in a London garden.

Will do some research and/or get a very large pot! Do you know the variety or is it the common variety? Will get back to you tomorrow if that's ok...

I would never plant one, ever. Please do some research. Had one in the neighbouring garden, and was a nightmare. The leaves don't break down either and secrete a toxin which when lands kills everything underneath it, including the PH balance in the soil. I had to replace my lawn twice and the leaves drop all all year round. The neighbour very kindly agreed to have it cut down eventually. Don't be fooled by how "pretty" this non indigenous tree is. They grow enormously every year, and before you know it, it will block out the light in your and your neighbours garden.
I only found out by accident what was killing my lawn (& everything else), via an Australian gardening forum, as there's not much in UK websites about it, so unless you have a couple of koalas ready to munch the leaves, don't do it.
Take heed the tree is a devil!
