Cedar problem...

[Ty Korrigan]

We lightly pruned a 25-30year old cedar 18months ago (2 winters now)

You'd hardly know it had been done in fact.

Shortly after, a fencing company did it's stuff and dug 2 holes for concrete posts as well as taking off some lower limbs.

This summer the tree is going brown after losing all it's needles over the Winter then re-growing sparsely this Spring them only for them to go brown again.

Any idea of what could be the problem and even what I should look for to help diagnose the malady?

Regards

Not sure, but I have recently noticed quite a few cedars that have died suddenly or are struggling in northern england / scotland. Not sure why, can't be the recent cold winters as I'm sure cedars are used to the cold! ( certainly deodara and atlantica anyways)

The problem is the insensitive fencing company ...possibly ?
