Hi all, just noticed the management actually chopped off most of the trees already, only left one "eucalyptus look alike" now
 Ok, here are the pictures, please pardon me for the large image file, just want to make sure you all can see clearly:» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I apologize first if it's not eucalyptus   The good news is there are many hibiscus in the garden, still can come and get hibiscus branch, hehe  |

QUOTE(krynzpeaches @ Nov 2 2007, 12:59 PM) Thanks so much Ryo' for being the detective and taking those pictures Please pardon my noobness, how does a eucalyptus leaf smell like? From the tree trunk, it does look like eucalyptus tree cuz eucalyptus tree trunk has all those patches and sometimes in watercolor like colors. I think the ultimate test would be to break some fresh leaves and give it a sniff... If it smells like one, then it definitely is eucalyptus! If they have chopped down some, where do they throw the trunk and branches? Mebbe I can go salvage some, haha Btw, where is your apartment? Good work!  KP  Actually I had tried to sniff its fresh leaf when i was still a kid and when fresh leaf still reachable I still remember how it smells, and I kinda like it, haha.... I don't know where they throw it, but definitely not within my apartment My apartment located just opposite Sri Bintang Utara Cheras, it's called Taman Shamelin Perkasa Come and take a closer look if you pass by  This post has been edited by Ryo`: Nov 2 2007, 01:44 PM |

QUOTE(krynzpeaches @ Nov 2 2007, 02:07 PM) Haha, no worries Yes, it does smells like "minyak angin+ginger" Lolz...Eucalyptus is famous for it's essential oil, it is good to help relieve stuffy nose and cold. I think the best I can explain how it smells is that it kinda has a smell like "minyak angin" Hahaha Aihhh, if they throw it nearby kan easy to collect Ohh, your place is in Cheras... So out of my way, but if I happen to be there, I would definitely look out for the tree! Thanks! KP |

QUOTE(krynzpeaches @ Nov 2 2007, 02:21 PM) Ahhhhh, then it's definitely Eucalyptus! You may come my place to cut-off some branches, haha... I think the management also going to chop down the last eucalyptus soon Seems like it can be found around here... But it's all in public places, how to cut-off some KP |

QUOTE(Taipan1 @ Nov 2 2007, 06:14 PM) The leaves do look like Eucalypt. A good "smell test" is to break some of the fresh young leaves & rub them between the palms of your hands. If possible take a photo of the whole tree. Although some species of Eucalypt's have smooth bark some have very course bark. From what I have read ( but wont guarantee ) the most widely grown Eucalypt outside Aust. is E.camelduensis (sp ) River Gum. The reason is that it is a quick grower & the timber has quite a few uses. Yes, I did posted some pictures in post #618 Anyway, who want the 2 branches that I show in the photo? I keep for you first, hehe This post has been edited by Ryo`: Nov 2 2007, 06:31 PM |

QUOTE(crazymouse_yyh @ Nov 2 2007, 10:26 PM) Wahhhhh.... how come you stay near my old school? How come I never go and take a look at the trees? LOL... nevermind, that was like 5 years ago LOL..... Haha... 5 years ago there was 5-6 eucalyptus planted in the garden, but now only left one Wah, I wanna go get branches liao. Can I meet you somewhere? Maybe you can gather some branches if it happens to fall down or if they chop the tree.... Don't worry, I already kept 2 branches in my car boot Do contact me if you want to drop by, hehe QUOTE(Reanne @ Nov 3 2007, 12:50 AM) OOoh!!! Count me in! I would like some branches and some of the large pieces of bark for my geckos too! I think barks are easier to get compare to branches |
