Eucalyptus down everywhere. I heard that many were originally planted as a windbreak. Ha!

Can't imagine Eucalyptus as a solid windbreak since their root systems are so shallow, giving them the nickname "widow makers" for their tendency to fall (and sometimes on people). So sorry to hear the garden was damaged.
