Peter Dowdall can’t get enough of plants that look after themselves

I don’t do high maintenance. This is fine really because most plants are not high maintenance. 

When we humans get involved and put plants in the wrong place that’s when maintenance can become an issue.

In other words if you put a Eucalyptus in a small garden outside a window where you want a plant to grow to about 1m (3’) then you have just given yourself a rather substantial maintenance regime, cutting back and pruning regularly as it will want to get upwards of 20 metres.
