does eucalyptus need a wide border / lots of space ? I'm currently planning the planting for my garden, and we would like some tall, evergreen and architectural screening at the back (which gets full sun in spring and summer.) the problem is that the border is fairly narrow - ~60/70cm deep, though it runs almost the length of the wall. I worry about their roots lifting the patio too, which neighbours the border
Why Eucalyptus?
Plant an English Yew hedge, resolutely evergreen and plenty of red berries for resident and over-wintering birds after a couple of years.
Easily maintained as a hedge.
