My advice ...for a Eucalypt...get them (the tree removalist) back to remove it properly... ie stump grinding.
Then, if its appropriate to replant...start over with a whole new a healthy replacement specimen.

The type of growth described emanates from lignotubers in the base AND is VERY weakly attached. It is really the last ditch effort of the tree to produce flower & seed ...and ensure the continuation of the species.
Resprouting from lignotubers is also common in those areas of Aust. where bushfire has ravaged trees. If there is no associated risk with these trees....then they are generally left alone to do-what trees do (National Parks & Local Councils monitor post-bushfire trees that are near camping areas, parking area and walking trails..etc...or will contract out this type of appraisal work out).

There is no place for (Eucalypt) specimens like this in our urban environment....so dont persevere with it.
