I have a large eucalyptus tree in my garden, cider or gunnii gum I'm pretty sure.

It sheds its bark all year round.

Ive read you can use it for dying and it burns really well so drying it for tinder might be good, but wondered if there are any other uses,
as you can see I have no shortage.

The tree sap is supposed to be loverly when tapped and stored allowing it to ferment. Not tried that but up for giving it a try, anyone else tried
something like that? All tips would be well recieved.

Any possibility it might make deceny cordage? My New Zealand Palm (or whatever they are called) drops leaves that burn well and make good cordage.
