wyline,
You probably know this, but rainbow eucalyptus trees grow to be quite large - over 100 feet at maturity.They is also have weak wood and shouldn't be planted anywhere near structures. It's a pretty tree for sure, but I got to see first hand about the weak wood when I was in a little grove of them at the Honolulu zoo, and a big old branch came crashing down in front of me from maybe 60 or 80 feet up. Got my attention. I looked around and saw lots of little branches that had fallen and pretty much flattened the plants growing underneath. Just a consideration.
