The company that sprays for pests guessed a fungus in the soil caused that. Losing a vine is one thing but a tree is quite another!! Anyone have information to help?
Do you have a cloth weed barrier under the mulch? We lost two trees this year, a very very expensive Sylvester Palm and a grapefruit. Both expired and both had cloth weed barriers. When the trees were taken out the roots had grown up into the weed barrier looking for water, the nursery told us the weed barrier becomes clogged with soil and other debris and the roots come to the surface for water. Now whether this is true or not, I really don't know, but I do know both trees were very dead and very expensive to get out!
