The leaves have turned brown and the stems of the branches red. Tree seems healthy. It is 2 years old. Aprrox 6 foot from a garden wall. Is there way that this can be reversed?

Your tree is evergreen. Unless it is a rain forest variety it certainly does not need a lot of water. They mainly grow easily in Australia with good drainage, & some moisture. If you are in Australia it may have got a bit to dry with the early heat. Dont overwater just keep it moist till it recovers. (be careful not to overwater)
Did you fertilize near it they dont like phosporous it can kill them. Use only a proper native fertilizer.
Many varieties have red stems as they mature, this may be normal for your variety.
If you are in America be careful of the cold if you are in one of the colder areas. Frost can kill.
Being an evergreen it gradually replaces all its leaves one by one so this may also be the case. If all have gone brown at once I'd say fertilizer burn, over or underwatering. They are tough it may still recover. Hope all goes well

Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Tree Problems

Eucalyptus IS EVERGREEN.
~I suspect that lack of water is the problem, particularly with a young tree.
~Also - siting could be a problem; if it is sited so that it is prone to cold winds etc., this could cause the leaves of a young tree to go brown.
~ Remove the damaged foliage.
~ Keep it damp at the roots (even in winter)
~ Feed & mulch it in the Spring
~ If exposure is the problem - think of maybe planting something else to protect it - or move it to a more sheltered site (not too close to the house; they can get really big!)
~ For more of a 'foliage' effect - it can be cut down every year, making it multi-stemmed - which of course will prevent it becoming a large tree.
~Eucalyptus need lots of water.

Well lets see, not to be smart or anything but it is the middle of october, which means its fall and all the trees and leaves will be changing, not just yours
(guess that depends on where you live to though)

I think so. The soft stems you buy already dried I think have been soaked in glycerin to make them soft. Is that why you are asking?
