The photo does not show how tall this tree is. Its death is a significant loss to the area.
It has been very sad to watch this Eucalypt in Tempe Bus Depot next to Gannon Street die over the last 3-4 months. Even the rain we received was not enough to help it recover.
To their credit Tempe Bus Depot went to a fair bit of trouble to keep this tree when they refurbished the depot in 2010. They retained a parcel of soil around the tree & it appeared quite happy until recently.
Not only is it sad to lose such a large tree, but also it is one of the few large trees in this area & stood like a lone sentinel. It was also popular with the birds. I hope they decide to plant a new tree.

The death of this Eucalypt in Tempe Bus Depot is a very sad reminder of the effects of climate change on our environment.
I really hope that another advanced native tree is planted and the area landscaped around the perimeter of the depot. It will need to be greened and maintained to help it establish and grow.
