Hi,
I have 2 large, 30ft + eucalyptus trees in my garden that are at least
25 -
30 yrs old. One is in full leaf as normal, the other has a few brown
leaves
on the fine branches but seems dead. However on closer inspection it
has
shed it's bark as usual revealing new smooth bark on the trunk and
large
branches. The fine branches/twigs which have the brown/dead looking
leaves
are supple and if cut are green and moist. The tree seems to be
resting. Is
this something that these trees do and is there anything I can do to
get it
going? I'm loath to see it cut down. It hasn't lost any branches in
the
recent winds or during the gales last winter, just no new leaves.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
I live in South Wales.

Wouldn't be much use as only 1 tree has leaves so 1 bear would probably die
or wander off.
