Eucalyptus scoparia

Significance of tree

I planted this tree in October 2016 when my first daughter was born. I buried her/my placenta under the tree – now it’s around 4 metres tall. I can see this tree when I’m lying in bed and looking out the window. It’s so satisfying watching the tree grow, alongside my daughter! The circumference of the trunk is 23cm. I planted a second tree 8 months ago when my second daughter arrived – which is also thriving!
