Brown conifer

[LuzBlanca_83]

We have 2 conifer trees in our garden and one of them is all brown at the bottom, but still green at the top. Is this tree dead, is there any solution to it other than remove it? Thanks

It is not dead but, better remove the tree  imo,  as the brown section but won't regrow  so will always look ugly.

Plant a shrub at the base to screen the brown and keep it for a few more years.

Looks a bit like another bush removed from that side maybe?

I'm worried when we remove it the one next to it will look the same and then both have to go, which is quite a big change on our garden...

Whatever you do remember that green matter will only be on the outside in the light whether there is one tree or two; so yes, if you have two pressed against each other and you remove one the revealed side of the remaining tree will look the same again.

I agree that something was probably removed from against that tree in the pic.

If you work it/them at all do it in cool weather when you can wear a spacesuit; the dust and particles from those things are horrendous 😊

Yes another one was removed last year but there wasn't so much brown, it's getting worse...
