Maybe argue with the evidence that I have presented rather than try and battle it out with your own poorly-understood prejudice,eh?
Start with swamp drainage: do you think that their usefulness is perhaps more to do with their tolerance of water-logged, saline soils and rapid growth rate than any exceptional evapotranspirational performance?
You've half understood this, grasped the wrong end of the stick, an are now beating yourself with it.

Tolerance rather than preference, mind.

You really are happy to argue about anything at all, aren't you? I see you chose to ignore my evidence yet are bothered by me not arguing with yours.

What? Shallow roots in gardens? Hardly the entire biosphere, is it?
How about addressing any of my counterpoints which are based on observable facts in the wider ecosystem rather than your mate's treehouse?

I'm going to sleep now. Get a grip before I look at this thread again.

Your points are about how it behaves in plantations, not about its relevance to lining city streets. |

Do you have swamps in city streets in California? Are city streets going to save your soils?
Screeeeeeeeeach!

Eh? As usual, you're all over the place. You do remember how this started, right?

Eucalyptus trees are thugs which strip the ground of everything around - nutrients and water. A bit like pine trees. And they shouldn't be planted near human habitation as their roots are shallow and they tend to fall over. Basic common knowledge.

They are fast-growing and vigorous.

So you're disputing renowned farming expert OOTLG as well as my links upthread. And we started talking about planting trees in a city environment, not as timber plantations. The only reference to swamps was as evidence that they are thirsty trees.
