Free eucalyptus nicholii to appreciative home

Huntington Beach, CA(Zone 10b)

I have a very nice 5-gallon eucalyptus nicholii in a nursery pot available for free to anyone who would like to give it a good home. I have three in the ground and love the tree, and I thought I had room for another, but I don't on my small, suburban plot. As usual, my eyes were bigger than my property when I went to the nursery and bought it. I'm in Southern California (Orange County) and would be happy to drive up to an hour to meet someone who was far away from me and wanted it.

Here's a picture of one of my three (in the ground) that I have. They're a very well behaved tree. Roots aren't a problem. Needs no supplemental water (once established) and it has a very pretty, open weeping habit. Resistant to the psyllid, I would venture to say. I had a lemon gum that got the psyllid about 10 feet away from one my nickies and the lemon gum got it, and the nicky is just fine. (I had to have the lemon gum removed. It was too big anyway. The nicky is much more suited to smaller garden situations.)
