I love that smell so much that for years I wore As a substitute, I tried growing Eucalyptus neglecta in my old garden. It lived long enough to get maybe 35 feet tall, well over my two-story house.

Sometimes impulsiveness pays off. Brandon Mills walked up the block with me, looked at the carcass of my late, lamented Eucalyptus neglecta and gave me a very reasonable estimate to take it out.
