Eucalyptus trees dying ?

[White Noise]

As the title says . I,m noticing a lot of Eucalyptus trees looking in really poor condition . Most of them have small areas of dead leaves turning brown . In some cases the whole tree has been subject to this . Anybody else notice this . Oh sorry if this has been mentioned before .

Not noticed anything down here tbh, maybe its just the new leaves coming through and some old leaves dying off?

Ive checked a few out they have no sap in them and are dry and brittle ?

Andy, just to justify your obs, I've just finished taking down a 50ft euc.

Dark brown leaves, they just fall off as you touch them and the base plate had gone as well. I think it's the heavy frosts that have killed them.

Fair play it is a strong possibility .

i climbed one the other day it was fine, but there was another one in the same garden with the same symptoms as you have described, we could not work it out either??

We have seen quite abit of frost damage on eucs locally. Some of my nursery stock of nitens and gunni has seen major tip damage from the frosts we had over winter.

Took a small Euc down today, in a matter of two weeks its gone from good leaf coverage to almost 100% dead. It looks like the only green thats left on the leaves seams to be and the tip extremities. Looks like a leaf minor has been at it to although the leaves are not brown but very gray.

Crumbs, I went to some effort to find this thread.

 

Went and looked at a wee eucky, all the leaves dead from winter frost as per this thread.

 

Now this particular one is history, I'm takeing it out for the cash.

 

 

I've got so many connies waiting till september due to nesting season, that something has to pay the bills, and this tree has my 020s name on it.

 

However the reason I went to the trouble of finding this thread is to ask.

 

Euckys being euckys and generally indestructable is there any chance that it might regenerate even with all its leaves dead at the moment. or Regen from a polllard/ heavy prune?
