    My research shows that 30 feet is the maximum height for this tree.
    From your description it very much does sound like a Phytophthora fungus.
    You can check with your County Extension Office to see if they have any other reports of this issue with other trees in your region.

    You are outside the recommended growing zone for the Rainbow Eucalyptus.
    The temperatures and growing conditions may not be meeting the needs of this tree.
    This is the likely reason for the poor condition of your tree.
    I would also urge caution in growing this tree in a home landscape environment.

    Here is a link with more information.

    Older leaves can be shed and as they age often turn red in color.
    Stress can also lead to leaf drop; environmental or disease and pests.
    If you have had past issues with pests make sure you are checking your trees regularly.

    These links will help you pinpoint the issue.

    This plant does not go dormant. If the tree is looking top heavy or sagging it is because it has a very shallow root system. The roots can't take the weight. Any heavy wind could actually knock it over. Pruning is your best option. Trim the heaviest branches in the fall far back enough that it doesn't look top heavy. Hopefully this is the problem. I don't see a picture. Good luck.

    You may be able to use a tree sealant on the trunk to stop new growth. This will also help prevent disease from entering the plant at the stump. Check with your local garden center. If the Tree shares a root structure with the other trunks, such as all originating from a single plant avoid systemic herbicides as it may damage the rest of you clump.
