Is this plant Eucalyptus?
I took some photos today of what I think may be Eucalyptus. For those of you who are familiar with the plant please let me know. thanks in advance

Hmm..To me, that looks more like a bamboo type plant than any eucalyptus I've ever seen. Steve would be more of an expert on this but my experience with eucalyptus is that they grow more like a tree, as in up, not a bush. I also have bamboo in my yard and it spreads like what you have in your photo and they don't get nearly as tall as an eucalyptus tree.

Thanks Mare. I guess bamboo leaves are only good to bears.

Oops I stand corrected. Several web pages say bamboo is ok for birds. Learned something new today. Now does anyone know if I just cut some, wash and bring to the birds? I am talking about branches with leaves on them.

from what i can see no its not, its not like any i have ever seen, if you grab a handful and just crush in hand you will no by the spell as eucalyptus has a very distinctive smell, as long as you no what it smells like, but that does not look like eucalyptus

I cut a few branches and the stems are hollow like bamboo and appear that way also. Wash them and now my fids have a bamboo tree in their cage. So far they are ignoring the forest invation.

That's how my fids are reacting to their eucalyptus treat. They could take it or leave it. Guess I know now. lol

OH well, we tried. Daisy did climb on some of the branches to get to the broccoli.
