Eucalyptus Trees dying

in Problem solving
We have quite a few Eucalyptus trees some well established whose leaves are turning brown and slowly the whole tree becomes full of brown leaves and the trees are dying.  They are different varieties and this has happened to some new ones too and in different parts of the garden.  We are not sure if it is weather related - frost/wind but I am worried that it may be something else and could affect the remaining Eucalyptus trees.

    There was another thread concerning a sick eucalyptus, albeit a bit smaller than yours @alley .

    The tree in my garden is looking very sick which l've never known before,  it will be cut back this week and l will see if it reshoots.
    Whereabouts in the UK are you ? (Just a general location will do).

    It is a Eucalyptus.  I am not sure if it is a Black Gum tree, if not it is similar.  I have attached a pictures of one of our healthy Black Gum trees.  Not sure why my photos are side on. 🤷‍♀️

    It's a long running forum glitch @alley. If you resize the photos and make them smaller, it seems to fix it.

    I have been looking at my eucalyptus today, l suspect it may have had it.

    My 25yr old eucalyptus tree,is covered in dying leaves & doesn't look its normal beautiful self. 
    I'm going to blame the weather, cold weather & the eucalyptus tree goes into frost protection. Then the weather warmed up eucalyptus thought its time to drop the frost protection & grow some more, only to have the weather freeze & the eucalyptus has no time frost protect. Iv checked the bark, from top down at different intervals, just sliced under the bark to see if its green. Iv trimmed my tree down, to where it looks alive & I'm going to leave it & hopefully nature will work its magic. I grew the tree bent, & its helped me keep it low for me to attend to. I do hope all your beautiful trees recover to their full glory.
