Add me to the list of those who couldn't possibly list them all. It would overload the server! However, I can severely limit the reasons for most of my deaths: underwatering or poor soil. And they are both related to each other. It gets so hot and dry here that a one day miss in poor soil can wipe out a tree. I now have a much better mix and and I am amazed at how long it stays moist.

A 3rd cause would be repeatedly trying to grow trees that just won't grow in our climate without babying way beyond my time and resources.
