Atlas Cedar health

[swinny]

Hi there, i'm afraid i have no pics of the tree but, i've been asked to do some work on it (blue atlas cedar) , but have noticed that quite a lot of needles all over the tree have turned a pinky colour and it has dropped a lot of needles.....

 

Is this due to the weather like the other threads that have been started? or something else? The home owner has cut some branches back.

 

I've seen a few cedar that reduce fine and are fine, but not sure whats up with this one.

 

Bit reluctant to do anything at it for now...

 

Any help appreciated (i know its vague)

This same subject is being discussed on the UKTC forum.

 

Could it be early flowering?
