Title: need eucalyptus leaves, have obsidian
Post by: aaron on August 20, 2014, 11:41:26 am

USA trades only-
I would trade a small flat rate box of obsidian spalls for a large flat rate box of eucalyptus leaves in good condition.

Everyone knows that giraffes don't eat eucalyptus leaves. What, are you nuts, Jordan?  ;D

Just a hint. You should try and find a board member who lives in Southern California, especially around where the old citrus groves were in Ventura County. They used eucalyptus trees as windbreaks for the groves back in the day. There are several of those trees in Simi Valley. Or there were. Probably still a few here and there. There used to be some eucalyptus trees over in the Northridge area of the San Fernando Valley, too. A board member who lives near or in one of these places should be able to find those trees. They were planted in straight lines, side-by-side. Some are single trees, now, the rest having been cut down for development. But there should still be several in Simi Valley.

Oh that's awesome!  Can she only use eucalyptus leaves or will others work as well?  I know willow looks a lot like that.

Many leaves will work, some better than others. So far eucalypptus is best. Have not tried willow.
