IIRC They're not very good for other plants, they damage soil so growing conditions favour them... Not sure about the roots thing...
Very popular in Galicia because they're so fast growing, perfect for firewood... And forest fires... In the right conditions they just burst into flames!

They can get quite big. I'm not aware of them being worse for soil dessication than other species.
However, non native and probably not a long term prospect for your front garden so I would consider replacing it with something else.

A full sized one that close I'd be tempted, but as others said check how far the roots have gone.
My understanding was that the issue with soil is that their thirsty. I was looking at a dwarf one partially to help remove water from the soil.

Does anyone know anything about eucalyptus trees? Having moved in to the house recently I've been told by father in law the tree is terrible for getting after foundations and drains etc. Do I need to get rid? Excuse the state of the front garden and mass of bindweed
