    Hi all I set some 20 eucalyptus cinerea last September, they came on well and blossomed come late November. Having looked at them today I've noticed the majority of trees has leaves turning brown with a withered feel to them.
    I know the leaves turn a red color but this isn't what I'm talking about.

    The stem from the ground up is also tuning a brown color from then red/maroon color it first was when planted would this be down to the tree starting to grow?

    As for the leaves my fear is the recent first and snow has s maybe done harm, I hope not. I'm looking for suggestions as to what I can do and if I should give them a feed and if so what kind?.

    Thanks.

    Mine are the same. I'm hoping it was just the bad winter.

    I definitely wouldn't feed them.

    It's usually a harsh frost followed by a quick thaw that does the damage. Has the bark cracked or lifted in any way?

    The ones I photographed are crenulata. Oddly, these and the neglecta were supposed to be less fussy than some others I have on the same site (archeri, parvula) which look fine, but possibly they're in a more exposed location and taller and so more prone to cold drying wind.

    Will see what they do this summer.
