Question

How much water does each eucalyptus tree require per month?

Answer 1

Obviously the previous guy who answered isn't a forester like me and is just thumb sucking.  The truth is that we don't know, research is still undergoing in this field.  However, the general rule of thumb with Eucs; is that if you give them water, they will take the opportunity to SUCK IT UP BIGTIME!   Forestry is deemed a stream flow reduction activity, rules have been put into place to not grow these trees too close to water coarses so as to preserve natural water resources.  Peace out :-)

Answer 2

eucalypts are very water friendly.  Obviously, the amount each tree needs is dependant on their size, however eucalypts do well in very arid conditions.  Their leaves are covered with a waxy material that limits water loss.

Edit:  Screwed is correct.  Eucalypts do suck up huge amountss of water, and store it internally.  This, however, was not the question.  Eucalypts do not REQUIRE huge amounts of water per month.  Indeed, they can survive drought for months.
