Worth noting: certain species of Eucalyptus are dying throughout the neighborhood. Old age, drought, disease, fungus, pests or all of the above are hastening their decline. If you have one or more in your yard, is best to hire a licensed professional remove the dead Eucalyptus (once you have confirmed there are no nesting birds) as Eucalyptus is highly combustible.
