Cypress conifers dying?

[Al Cormack]

 

Was asked to look at these yesterday. Could not see anything wrong. Client noticed about 3 weeks ago - could this be scorch from the hot weather we had recently?

 

Could tie in with only side being affected.

I would agree especially with the harsh ' siding up '

Only the hedge has been trimmed about a month ago by the gardener. The trees are untouched.

We had some Conifers booked in for felling as they looked a tad poorly . Then 2 months later the job got cancelled as they seemed to recover and look fine now .

What species are they?

An associate has been in touch with F.R. Ref. Phytophora.sp. on conifer in warwickshire.. These are very similiar features... I wouldnt discount it just yet. Contact forest research see what they say.. Symptoms seem to have been perfect for the spread/ occurance of it during spring and early summer
