Q.Pollarding A Eucalyptus Tree
I have a 5m high leggy eucalyptus tree. Can I cut it down at the base and hope it re-sprouts, or will I kill it?

You can cut it back to 15 cm. (6 inches) from the ground. When it sprouts, groom the best-looking stem for the trunk, and cut away all others. Here is more:
