tree ID
Th photos are rubbish but they might help with the shape of the tree.
It is deciduous and the trunks and branches are a pinkish terracotta colour. I think the trunk is smooth but it's a few gardens away.
The leaves are sage green.
It's a very large and beautiful tree. Does anyone know what it is.?
And the photo option has disappeared. Will post photo separately.
No joy with photo. Will try later

Hi B3. Any possibility of describing the leaf shape and size to help with identifying?
No. I'm afraid not. I can only see it out of an upstairs window. Will try to photograph it with a proper camera and post it via tablet
trying it from laptop - so much technology - so little time!
success!
Looks like a eucalyptus to me.
Wow. Didn't realise they got that big. It certainly has a southern hemisphere look about it.
I agree with LG the L. They are beautiful trees. See lots of them in the South of France and they can be pruned as hard as you like. The young leaves are rounded and the mature leaves are scimitar shaped.
They can get very big indeed. But don't rely on me for the ID, I'm just guessing. Someone proper will be along soon I'm sure!
No I Googled it and that's the one. I'm not particularly observant so it must be the surrounding trees that are deciduous . lovely to look at from here but I'm glad it's not in my garden!
If it was closer, you could scrunch up a leaf to get confirmation - smells like Olbas oil.
HaHa someone proper....! Who knows stuff.
I thought it looked a bit olivey greeny so I would believe eucalyptus.
