Eucalyptus trees are iconic in our landscape, and Castlemaine is no exception! We have an abundance of beautiful gum species here, including Manna Gum, Yellow Gum and Red Ironbark amongst many others. They give our properties that distinctive aussie feel with their unique bark and leaves.
One problem we can experience with gum trees though, is the fact that they can be susceptible to diseases such as fungal infections, and from pest infestations. Fungi can attack Eucalyptus trees, especially in poor soil conditions, and lead to issues with the tree’s health such as root rot and collar rot. These infections can weaken the tree, leading to its gradual deterioration in health.
These problems can be avoided if you maintain your gum tree’s health through proper management such as ensuring the soil is well drained and have it assessed and pruned when needed. If, however, you do notice that your tree is has unhealthy looking leaves, a cracked trunk, or clear fungal infections, it may be too late to save it, with
tree removal the only option.
