Eucalyptus Trees Dying

Question

I have 2 eucalyptus trees a bit over 10 yrs old. They get plenty of sun and are not planted in the same area. One is completely dead and the other is turning brown on leaves. I live in Alabama. Thanks.

Answer 1

There are several things that could cause this in your trees. If you have had colder than usual winters for the past 2 years as much of the country has, the stress from the cold may have hurt them. They may also have a pest or a fungus. I would recommend treating the remaining tree with neem oil. It will kill both pests and fungus on the tree. You may also want a local tree expert to come out and look at the tree to more accurately diagnosis the problem.
