Dead Bottle Brush Tree

[mahmedk]

Dear Members,

We had an old bottle brush tree (apology for not knowing the exact/biological name) in our lawn which had stopped flowering for the last two or three years but we still did not cut it since it was a beautiful tree in itself. Now suddenly a few days back the tree started to dry up and now it seems that the tree has died.

I believe that nothing can be done about it now but I am posting a few pictures of it with the hope that the respected members may suggest a reason due to which it may have died so that I can take corrective measures for other fruit/flower trees in the vicinity. Thanks a lot.
