Dying Eucalyptus

Question

My eucalyptus tree has been in my garden 3 yrs now and was brilliant until now and all the grey/blue leaves are now brown and brittle. Is my tree dead from the really bad frost we had at the beginning of this year?

Answer 1

Older trees can survive cold spells for short periods with only leaf loss as damage. Yours is still rather young, so it may or may not survive.
