"Really depends on the size as well but every 2 to 4 years and a very quick growing tree so a good 30% to 40 % reduction is good"

"Eucalyptus trees can typically be cut back every 2 to 3 years, depending on the species and growth rate. However, it's important to note that cutting back too frequently can weaken the tree or affect its shape. If you're pruning for safety or size control, it's best to consult a professional tree surgeon to ensure it’s done at the right time and in the right manner."

"I would definitely recommend once every 3 year you need to click the street as a very brittle tree"
