Q&A – Why are my cedar trees dying?

Question:
Why are my cedar trees dying?
​​
Answer:

It looks like the cedar trees (actually arborvitae) may not be getting the water they need. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond says the tree that is close to them may be competing for water and leaving them too dry. She recommends watering them more in dry conditions. If they die, she recommends choosing a different plant to replace them with.
