I also was going to mention summer branch drop in Beech in the UK. seems to me that no tree "just drops branches", there is ALWAYS a reason, it just may not be immediately apparent. Try explaining that to a client with a half metre diameter red gum branch on their roof/car/dog..However, I'm with Ekka on this one, good soil health and mulch help because they reduce the amount of CHANGE in the soil. I.e. keep water/nutrient levels more constant. BTW I've never seen a euc in any kind of trouble in the UK, but then there aren't that many of them. I'd say that they would struggle in fighting off fungal attacks...
