Our Deodar cedar was planted two years ago. Last winter the tips turned brown and the needles on the tips fell off. When summer hit the tree got lots of new growth. Now the tree is mostly brown again...is this normal? I'm just curious if this is a normal thing or if it might be dying.

Many cedars (in fact, most) have some color change in the fall. If this is the 3rd year coming up I'd say there's nothing wrong with it. This coming 2nd spring will tell for sure. If you get lots of new growth you just have one of the varieties that turns brown.

Did you plant them of their burlap and twine wraps? I wager you probably did. That was the advice. even though if, the present horticultural suggestion is to get rid of the burlap and twine because of the fact what occurs is the tree will do nice at first yet because of the fact it may take YEARS for the burlap to decompose, the basis device won't be able to strengthen. The twine poses problems with the roots besides. additionally, the previous suggestion replaced into to alter the airborne dirt and dirt interior the hollow wherein the tree replaced into being planted. Now, the advice is to plant the tree interior the superb comparable airborne dirt and dirt you dug from the hollow because of the fact the roots tend to stay interior the changed airborne dirt and dirt quite than root/branch out to the encompassing soil. If that's what has occurred, i'm afraid you're maximum possibly going to lose the wood. one factor you're able to do is heavily examine the wood for bugs and worms. I even have some that have been getting hammered via Gypsy moths worms. I had to meticulously %. the worms off each and each tree and now the wear seems to be halted. stable luck. i know how unhappy it fairly is to lose wood. I lost 5 Firs final three hundred and sixty 5 days. i'm passing the ideas alongside to you that i've got discovered on condition that then.

Well if it had "lots of new growth in summer" it isn't dying, it just apparently goes brown in the winter.
