We recently bought a house that has two beautiful camphor trees. One appears to be thriving while the other is very thin with numerous dead branches throughout. I'm concerned about the health of this tree and wanted to get some input.
You can see from the pictures that the foliage on this tree is not very thick, with many branches throughout the tree having no leaves. The center of the tree is very open, with most of the branches having been pruned or looking barren. By comparison, the other camphor tree on our property seems much fuller throughout, though it does get more direct sunlight.
I posted a few pictures of the thin camphor along with one of the thicker camphor. I live in the Sacramento, CA area, where summers are hot and dry (CA drought and all that - it was 100 yesterday).
Input appreciated!
