Question Eucalyptus ID

Sorry for the poor quality of the photos but it was very windy ...







I know it's not the E ficifolia which I've seen here before which is a large tree with huge clusters of flowers.

Hi loopy .. and also tpm ... thank you both for responding.

tpm, the picture was taken at a restaurant we frequent about 7-8 minutes from us in the back of beyond here in Algarve (20 minutes from the sea and 20 minutes from the mountains) ... and I think you have it spot on with Eucalyptus leucoxylon. We do have a lot of strange and wonderful species grown here. Thank you ...

Yep I pretty sure that is Eucalyptus leucoxylon I seem to remember pruning some at Ventnor Botanic Gardens *Rummages around for photo*

Here's an old one of me clearing leaves under one =]
