December 3, 2016Q.cypress tree
We have 2 adult cypress trees. They are huge and about 30 to 35 years old. They are on our pavement and started to grow into the road. Our Security in our neighborhood, who is in charge of the security cameras, etc. asked to cut them a bit, because they block the visibility of the cars. I was totally shocked to see how the beautiful trees are cut and damaged. I would say one third of each tree is just gone. It is ruined. The tree felling guys just chopped the part which was partially in the street off. My question is: Will the trees die? Will they recover and grow to be as beautiful as they were? Is there anybody who can may be prune them and will it help? Thank you Susan

December 4, 2016A.Pruning itself will not likely kill the Cypress Tree.
Pruning can expose old wood and leave the Tree bare and unattractive.
Pruning should be preformed at the correct time of year, early spring and you can address new growth prune in late spring or early summer.
Here is a link with more information.

Certified ExpertA.It does look generally like a Hinoki cypress, but it is difficult to tell from the photo. Would it be possible to provide another photo with a closeup of the leaves? In any case, a Hinoki cypress should look good and fit that space well.

May 11, 2017A.Winter can be tough on Leland Cypress Trees, especially newly planted trees.
Plant tissue that is damaged by cold injury is also more susceptible to bacteria or fungus.
The winter desiccation also results in the slowing of growth and lessens the trees ability to make defensive chemicals.
Prune out and dead and damaged plant material. Since your tree is new and depending on the extent of the winter damage, you will need to determine if enough tree is left to salvage.

May 30, 2017Q.Russian cypress
Hello, I have a few Russian Cypress I'm my front East facing yard, I don't know how old they are but there is a severe browning taking place and so plant seems to be dying, or at least damaged. I live in Hudson Valley NY. I would like to revive them is it worth it? And how do I go about? Prune and fertilizer?

May 31, 2017A.I would prune the dead plant material and access the soil.
Soil should be well draining and may need some organic amendments.

August 16, 2017A.There are a few possibilities. This could be lack of water, damage from herbicides, salts, or other toxins, or the following two pests:

These pests affect both Cupressus and other conifers. Check whether the discussed symptoms match your tree.

Certified ExpertA.Yes. In This case, I have cured evergreens of many types using a simple wettable sulfur powder. This is indicative of a fungal infection. The sulfur will acidify the soil, Which the trees prefer. It will also kill off any infection in the soil.
