Eucalyptus Trees

Question

I have several Eucalyptus trees and they are shedding leaves, more than usual. My gardener wants to treat them but I would like to know how they should be treated. I do know that anything with phosphorus is not a good product to use. Hopefully, you can recommend what course to take. A prompt reply would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

These trees are well known for producing lots of litter (shedding leaves, bark). It is actually quite normal, albeit somewhat early. However, if the tree seems healthy otherwise, I believe it will be just fine.
