I just moved into a new house, and there's a 6-meter tall eucalyptus tree at the end of my garden. I've noticed it has been growing quite fast over the past few months. I'm not really into gardening, so I'm wondering if I should consider getting it pruned significantly or even removed altogether. What do you all think?

Eucalyptus trees grow really quickly and can reach heights that might be an issue if they’re too close to your house—generally, it's suggested to keep them at least 10 meters away. If it's closer than that, it's definitely worth considering a good prune to keep it manageable.
Definitely think about laying the groundwork for future growth. Regular pruning can keep it in check, but if you're uneasy, it might just be easier to remove it altogether.
