Thank you so much for all your help and advise so far guys. PLEASE do keep them coming... Other notes / clues: - I cannot see any signs of fungal or poisoning along the base or main trunk of the tree. - Another neighbour has some binoculars, maybe I can borrow them to look above. - The neighbour who does not want the tree there DID cut some healthy parts hanging over his garden, with our consent last summer 2015. Could this be a clue? May have shocked it? Thank you in advance..

Hi Ste Any particular reason why we should get rid? Many thanks.

Hello there all, new member here I hope you are all well. We have moved into our property a couple of years ago and it came with an (estimated) 8-10 year old eucalyptus tree. For the last 2 years it has been fine and full of foliage (sometimes looses some leaves in the summer as a normal eucalyptus does) but it's been great until now. Since late Jan / early Feb of this year we have noticed about 50% of it brown and without any foliage whatsoever (looking dead) whilst the other half seems fine?! Whilst we notice it's 50/50, the damaged part (after Internet reading) suggests it could be wind/frost damage. However, we have some issues with an immediate neighbour not wanting the tree there concerning us that it may have been poisoned by them...!? Other neighbours have reported airgun firing at it by them with metal pellets (although this can certainly not be confirmed or proved!) Any advise would be ever so grateful, are we overreacting? We do not know much about this kind of tree; I am happy to take further more detailed photos of certain parts of the tree if anyone needs them to help us. Thanks muchly. A concerned tree lover
