Is it possible that they died through lack of water in last summer's
drought? When did you realise they were dead? Do you have very
free-draining soil?
Deciduous trees may have dropped their leaves at the end of last year
and all seemed normal but they may have been dying then.
Silver birch are pretty foolproof and eucalyptus don't mind dry
conditions. Either look good planted in 3s if you have room.
