Eucalyptus Trees

Question

I planted a eucalyptus tree last Sept. in our backyard. It’s a dollar tree. Now it looks dead. What should I do? It’s pretty tall but the bark and leaves are brown. We did have a frost but it didn’t last long. I live at 3,500 ft. but our weather is mild. Should I feed it more water and fertilizer?

Answer 1

These trees can survive cold spells for short periods with only leaf loss as damage. This article will help you determine if the plant is still alive: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/how-to-tell-if-a-plant-is-dead-and-how-to-recover-an-almost-dead-plant.htm
