Dying Eucs in Manc land

[nailer]

Anyone know why eucalyptus trees are dying in manchester?

[Robert_S]

there was another thread about eucs dying, i think the heavy frosts at the start of the year was the explanation.

The most likely cause hypothesised (guessed!) was not the cold per se but the prolonged dry conditions around the roots ('cos the water was frozen).

I'll bet that if you look around you'll find that the smaller the eucs the more of them are suffering; the big ones have come through.

 

This thinking originated with an instructor on an RHS course.

he's not wrong, big ones are ok, small one looks ruined..

Noticed the same last week in Mid Wales;between Landovery and Buillt Wells.

Though mature specimens were also dead or dying.
