Eucalyptus: The World’s Fastest Growing Trees?

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Ed Coughlin

There’s an old saying about reasonable expectations one should have when planting trees. It goes something like this.

“The first year they sleep…The second year they creep...The third year they leap.”

Not sure who said it first, but I know it didn’t come from anyone who has ever planted a Eucalyptus tree!
