General pruning information
Eucalyptusspecies require little pruning apart from removal of damaged or dead wood, which should be taken off at the collar. If the tree is cut back hard it will produce epicormic shoots and the crown may be lifted or thinned by removal of selected branches.

Note:
Care should be taken when selecting a sight as the tree has vigorous roots that can lift concrete and block drains.
