Message	over 75 ft tall and about 4 feet in diameter. I had the company quote me today for topping and thinning them and they want $4000 to do it. I am going to talk with my insurance adjuster to see if they will foot the bill as a preventitive measure since Eucalyptus have a tendency to shed their branches. I have had some fall over the years but never one this big. Half of the roof will have to be replaced, one of my support pillars will have to be jacked up since the weight drove it into the ground several inches, one whole side of the eaves is gone and the wall stucco is cracked and knocked out in places. It was quite a mess. The company did a great job though. Very professional and fast.
