I have a Red Gum tree that is outgrowing its environment. Street tree specified by the HOA. Really a poor choice as there was no doubt that those trees would start heaving sidewalks, as they are now. I can level the sidewalk but 5 years (or less) from now I'm going to have the same problem again. Looking at the tree today, I'm thinking it's probably time for it to come down. Hate to lose it. It's a pretty tree but totally in the wrong spot for as large as it would eventually get.
So I'm wondering if Gum turns well? It's about 14-15" in diameter at the base. Seems like it could become bowl and peppermill blanks, maybe some small vessels.
Thanks!
