was a cedar row, removed some of the cedars. Ones to close to get have this dead spot.
Once all the green is removed from a branch, it will not grow back. However, in time some of the branches around it may grow enough to partially cover it.
It is growing well pot now too small repotting what should I add, Bonemeal ?
Unfortunately, your images did not come through to assess the situation.
Often, these trees thrive on neglect. Dry, poor, coastal soils are what the tree prefers, so you should do your best to mimic these conditions. Only in drought prone areas should you water, and feeding can be done by adding a thin layer of compost, each year.
Keeping them rootbound in container for a year or two will keep them manageable. Otherwise, potting up on time will mean that you will need to plant it in ground once it exceeds the size for container growth.

Hello there! I have two issues - both with Japanese Cedar - I'm hoping you can help with. I live in 7a (Long Island, NY) Issue 1 - Massive dead zone on mature Japanese Cedar - Recently noticed this huge area of dead growth in the plant's mid-section. Top of tree is still green, as is the other side of the tree. Has been healthy for up until now. - Dead growth has grey/green spots. Mold? - Tree receives regular water through drip irrigation - Images at https://imgur.com/a/4iDUtwm Issue 2 - Newly planted Japanese Cedar going yellow & showing dead spots - Planted five 2' plants in early September. Most seem to be doing fine, but one is overall more yellow than the others and showing dead areas. No grey/green spots like in the 1st issue. - No drip irrigation, just gets some water through the regular sprinkler heads (and it's been pretty wet season generally) - Images at https://imgur.com/a/yOtYQqs
They need moist, acidic, well-drained soil. I would have the soil tested for its pH. If it's alkaline, that could be causing yellowing.
Also, too much water could be causing root rot, which is evidenced by browning in the center of the tree.

When is the best time to fertilize a cedar hedge, and what is the best fertilizer type to use? We are aged so would appreciate the easiest solution. Ty
It depends on the cultivar of Juniper that you are growing. Most will never need supplemental fertilizers, and some can tolerate very light mixtures of fertilizer.

Are Japanese cedar trees hard to find are they rare
I did an Internet search and several nurseries came up that sell different cultivars of Cryptomeria japonica. It didn't appear to be rare or hard to get. In fact, one nursery said it was increasing in popularity.

Are blue atlas cedar roots invasive and how far away from a pool could a 25-30 year old tree be without risking roots damaging pool?
I would not plant it any less than about 25 or 30 feet from the pool. They have quite the root system, and it will damage foundation or any other structure nearby. Though the roots can be found deeper, most will stay closer to the surface. This is no good for being near a pool.
Even planting that far away, the tree can reach about 40 ft across. This means that even if you satisfy the root room requirement, you may still be looking at the branches to overhang the pool.
