| One tree seems to be dieing, starting at the top 1/3 .
She is about 8 feet tall, the others are about the same. Help. I love my ArborVitae...the emerald green variety...so absolutely easy to care for, never water, never fertilize any of them...Now they are 7 to 9 years old, and all but the one are very healthy. Info is so hard to find...good info And BTW, this tree had some baby cones, but the others, I see no cones... |

| Our Arborvitae is aka Thuja Occidental. Info seems to be scarce...not a word about "dieing" or browning - and I know this happens. |

| I would check for bagworms first. If there are no cases , then look for other pests. Could one tree be planted too deeply or be located in a site that is too wet? Link has pest and disease problems at the bottom of the page. |
Here is a link that might be useful: pests and diseases

| Thank you, Carol, for the response and the link. The tree in question is at the rows end next to a Rose of Sharon...and all of their Japanese Beetles.. I'm thinking of pruning off the brown 40% of the tree...I must do something.. |
