I am not sure what could cause this. One possibility is that if they are either staked or fertilized with too much nitrogen, they could be inhibited from developing strong trunks. With top-heavy eucalyptus trees, it can be necessary to cut the main trunk below the bowed portion. This will promote stronger, branched growth.
