Is my eucalyptus tree dead? (Pic included)

[kitkatnatnat]

Until this year it has been lovely and green. It started looking a bit sparse in the middle last year and needed trimming down at the top. Since around Jan the leaves have been turning brown, now there's no green at all!
Can it come back from this or is there anything that would help? Or is it well and truly dead? Thanks for any advice!

This is how it used to look

We had exactly this. A gardening friend said it was probably an early frost that had damaged it. She suggested leaving for a few weeks then prune gently.

It certainly doesn't look well. Maybe you had frosts that were too much for it?

Oh I wish this would happen to my neighbours bloody enormous eucalyptus which I utterly hate.

This happened to ours - apparently it was the very cold snap that did for it. -DH is not sorry as it had got ENORMOUS--

My neighbour's tree has done the same, hopefully it'll recover because they are beautiful

I moved here the summer before that extremely wet winter some years ago. I thought the eucalyptus had died but apparently it had suffered from all the rain. It looked dreadful for a few months then perked up again.
It's looking the same again after this winter.

Ours is the same op

Ahh sounds like they've all suffered a bit this year. I'll leave it a while and keep everything crossed that it recovers! It grows like crazy and needs several good prunes a year so will get it cut back gently for now.
Thank you for your replies

Several prunes a year? It sounds way oversized for its space. Should it be dead, which it definitely looks as though it were, I would replace it with a smaller hardier species. An ornamental pear for example? But give it a full growing season to be sure!

Yeah ideally twice a year as it grows really tall and wispy! It's a small garden. I will leave it where it is for now and see what happens. Was thinking it would have to be cut down but I hope it doesn't. Just looked at ornamental pears, they look great so that might be an option.

Was wondering about mine too with quite a bit of brown emerging.
Hope they’ll all recover
