Yes, this is sandalwood.
Do you know why the others are died ?


I think too much water killed them. They need well drained soil. In
southern india they grow in pretty poor but well drained soil. Although
I also think they cannot stand being dried out too.

Eucaplytus grows in similar conditions except they have long tap roots
that can reach ground water below.
