Eucalyptus trees dying ?

[L200LOG]

frosts

[treesnatcher]

lots of dead eucs throughout lincolnshire, lot have damage to trunk and main stems, no sap in ones we already removed. doing several a week now, maybe people will start to replant with something more suitable, not one has been in a sensible location yet. A few of the bigger ones around here are still healthy though. i think the prolonged cold did it as it was -16 for a few days.

i pollarded a relly messy one the other day that had been butcherd befor hand a few yeare ago, all the leaves were crisp and brown and it felt like it was very brittle, the customer thought it was dead and so did i but he didnt want it taken out completly so i left it as a 3 meter stem. i did abit of garden work for them yesterday and noticed there was one new shoot

Well I'm in North Essex and I have seen loads of dead Eucs and palm species.

 

You say you're in North Essex? As I said, its colder up north!

almost every euc i have seen is dead. looks like frost damage due to bad winter.

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 .

 

In Surrey not so much Euc' but nearly every Mimosa I have seen is absolutely hanging.

ive taken 2 down this year and as someone said before when you ring up the trunk its as good as seasoned

 

also noticed a lot of yucca trees not coped with the cold winter

Don't assume just because the leaves brown off and drop that the tree is dead. They are quite capable of throwing new shoots out of the trunk and stems (along the entire length) during the next growing season. Happens quite often here to an avenue of them either side of the State Highway.
