Grew up across the street from a grove of these and they were an absolute menace. My mom was constantly writing City Hall to trim them. One finally destroyed a house.
Also made a huge mess.
I hate eucalyptus trees. Wish we could snap our fingers and replace them all with Monterey cypress.

There's so much eucalyptus litter in Glen Park. During drought / fire danger I certainly wouldn't want to be near one of these things if someone was lightning one up 🚬 or the sky was lightning up ⚡
An oversight report found that aging eucalyptus trees in Glen Canyon Park pose a wildfire risk in San Francisco, but city mitigation efforts are allegedly inefficient and disjointed.
